Explore the historic market town of Alnwick, dominated by its 11th-century castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Northumberland and a filming location for the Harry Potter films. Adjacent lie the Alnwick Gardens, featuring the Grand Cascade and the specialized Poison Garden. In the town center, Barter Books occupies a former Victorian railway station, housing one of the UK’s largest collections of second-hand books. Local heritage is preserved at the Bailiffgate Museum, while the 83-foot Tenantry Column stands as a landmark to the town's ducal history.
