Description
Alnwick Castle, 'Windsor of the North', a foreboding medieval castle in Northumberland with stunning State Rooms which contain fine furniture and paintings by Canaletto, Van Dyck and Titian. This castle has been owned by the Duke of Northumberland's family for nearly 700 years and offers much to the visitor, not just in the beauty and history of the castle but in the garden project, the country walks in wonderful scenery, restaurant, shop, museums and a host of other entertainments. We are also fortunate and privileged in being a location for the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets films.
