Alnwick Castle

A love of all things Harry Potter saw us embark on a quest to see Hogwarts for ourselves this half term break.
We visited Alnwick Castle.

We were a bit disappointed to discover that only a couple of scenes from the film had been shot at Alnwick. However, the castle was beautiful. The library was by far the most fascinating room, but no photography was allowed inside the building.

A cheaper and more successful (from the children’s point of view) form of entertainment was available 20 minutes away at the beach.
