The Experience
What your day looks like
Some dream of kings and queens, while others imagine epic sieges. But many of us conjure up worlds of wizards and dragons. Alnwick Castle is a playground for your imagination that mixes the make-believe with true history. It’s been a fiercely fought battleground for the Scots and English. It’s posed as a plush home for powerful earls and dukes. And it’s starred as Hogwarts in the movies of Harry Potter. Let your imagination soar on this trip through the historic towns, fascinating tales, and beautiful views of the borders of Scotland and England. Kelso A ruined abbey, a stunning, cobbled town square, and beautiful boutique shops. The Borders The gentle valleys and rolling hills are a delight to explore. Alnwick Castle This gorgeous castle was used as a set for both Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. Northumberland Coastline This captivating coastline is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. River Tweed A graceful, salmon-filled river that winds through the borders.
