Alnwick Castle is a beautiful place to visit. It has many attractions such as the magnificent state rooms, Fusiliers Museum, attractive grounds, the stable wing where demonstrations take place of swords and chain mail plus there us a huge dressing up wardrobe. Near the stables is Dragon Quest, escape from the sleeping dragon. Fun for children of all ages and adults. The room guides are very knowledgeable. They have a Professor on hand to teach broomstick training which adults and children do. It was great fun. There are two free guided walks at different times during the day of the grounds and a film and TV walk showing where films such as Harry Potter and Tobin Hood Prince of Thieves was filmed. There is a lovrly cafe and two sets of toilets within the castle. The castle is free for members of Historic Houses but otherwise payable. The beautiful gardens full of fountains are a separate attraction with separate charges. I visited the castle and gardens over two days there was so much to see and do. The Castle car park is opposite and has a parable charge as you enter.
Fabulous place to visit, we were fortunate that we managed to get in on the last day before the castle closed for the season. Had a fabulous time wandering around the castle, plenty of information around the rooms and loads of volunteers who were more than happy to share their knowledge with you. Recommended place to visit.
Wow! Incredible tour from Eric on the film tour. The castle itself is beautiful and where the Duke lives is stunning and we loved the personal touches of the photos! We would love to come back if we lived localVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
I can't express just how much I love this picturesque castle. I would highly recommend doing a tour while you're here. We did the cinema tour where the guide showed us filming locations and gave us some pretty funny background information. The castle and gardens are absolutely stunning. If you are planning to go through the poison gardens you do have to be in a tour. I would reccomend on at least 3 hours here if you are planning on doing tours.
A very beautiful place to visit. There was a lot to see: museums, the castle, the dragon quest- for children and child at heart. The castle was magnificent and beautiful, unfortunately, not allowed to take photos. The archery was very fun and very affordable. And the dragon quest was suprisingly fun-even for adults. The tickets are also good for the whole year. Would definitely visit again.
Impressive castle from the inside & out. The State Rooms were stunning & the guides in each room were really helpful. There's lots of information everywhere if you want to read up on the Percy's or the castle's history but there's also plenty to do if you have kids with broomstick lessons & a dragon tournament as well as bird of prey displays. Don't try the Capability Brown Riverside walk on the map - it leads nowhere & you're not even that close to the river!
The castle exterior is just beautiful, it’s not a surprise that movies scenes are shot in their surroundings. In addition, on the day of my visit, they also staged different activities like - medieval music, falcon exhibitions, so on - utterly fascinating. The interiors are also worth a visit, there is actually quite a lot to see.
Throughally enjoyable day at the castle. Very informative tours of the history and film locations. Beautiful grounds and views. The state rooms were stunning and a must see. Would highly recommend, definitely worth the money. I parked outside the front of the castle on the street for free for 4 hours.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
It was great day out with the family. Learning how to fly on a broomstick was very funny. The inside of the castle is just a huge wow factor. The food is pricey £4 a sandwich so best to take a packed lunch.
An impressive and truly enormous piece of history. By far the biggest and most iconic medieval castle I have ever seen. If you're anywhere in the area it is definitely a must visit.
