1 Day Alnwick Castle & the Borders
Combine movie magic and historic wonder on this trip through the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. Visit Alnwick Castle, a key filming location for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey and a truly historic location of epic conquests and royal splendour.
ITINERARY
We leave Edinburgh at 8.15am and head south to the Borders. On the way, you will see the gently rolling hills and dramatic coastlines of East Lothian. Our first stop is the beautiful coastal town Bamburgh. Take a stroll to the stunning beach and view the dramatic 5th century Bamburgh Castle sitting on a natural throne of volcanic dolerite.
In the afternoon, we will meet the star of the show, Alnwick Castle. There is far too much to do here; admire large stately rooms and beautiful architecture, explore the spectacular gardens or learn a little about all the popular films and TV shows that have been filmed here.
After spending time in Alnwick, we make our way back over the border and in to Scotland where we will regale you with tales of the turbulent past of the Scottish and English border before arriving into Edinburgh in the early evening.
ALNWICK CASTLE
The magnificent Alnwick castle was built 920 years ago. Its purpose was to control the perilous borders between Scotland and England. But now it’s renowned for more than bloody history. The expansive gardens are world famous, the art collection is unrivalled and the rooms are some of the finest examples of 19th-century Italianate design.
*Our tours are conducted in English, by our Guides, however foreign language translations are available in German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French and Mandarin, with more languages to follow.
