Attraction Introduction

Alnwick Castle, located in Northumberland, northern England, is one of the largest and still inhabited medieval castles in England, and remains owned by the Dukes of Percy. Construction began in the 11th century, and the castle boasts a robust and imposing exterior, with well-preserved walls, defensive towers, and interior courtyards. In addition to traditional historical exhibits, the castle offers interactive experiences and themed activities, allowing visitors to better understand medieval aristocratic life and the functions of a castle. Alnwick Castle has also served as a filming location for numerous movies and television shows, adding to its cultural appeal beyond its historical significance.

How to Get There

To get to Alnwick Castle, take the train from Newcastle to Alnwick station, then transfer to a bus or taxi to Alnwick town. By car, it takes about an hour from Newcastle, and parking is available near the castle. Alnwick is small; if you are already staying in town, the castle entrance is within walking distance.

Travel Tips

Alnwick Castle is a seasonal attraction, with peak season concentrated in summer and school holidays. There are many activities at the castle, and some areas may be adjusted according to the day's schedule. The overall visit mainly focuses on outdoor areas and stone steps, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
