Take this tour of Alnwick Castle and the Borders for an idyllic trip into the countryside.

Firstly, enjoy the gently rolling hills and dramatic coastline. We’ll cross the border with England to explore Bamburgh in the heart of Northumberland. The mighty Bamburgh Castle was the seat of the early Kings of Northumbria in the 5th century.

In the afternoon, have your broomsticks at the ready as we’re off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in England. A long, rich history and magnificent medieval architecture make it a film lovers’ dream.

After a magical afternoon in Alnwick, make your way back over the border and into Scotland. We will regale you with tales of the turbulent past of the Scottish and English border before arriving in Edinburgh in the early evening.
