1 Day : Alnwick Castle and The Borders

Our Alnwick Castle tour departs from Edinburgh in the morning, making its way south towards the Scottish Borders. On the way to England, you will see the gently rolling hills and dramatic coastlines of East Lothian. Our first stop is the beautiful coastal village of Bamburgh. Take a stroll to the stunning beach or enjoy an optional visit to the dramatic 5th century Bamburgh Castle sitting on a natural throne of volcanic rock.

In the afternoon, we will meet the star of the show, Alnwick Castle AKA Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the Harry Potter movies. There is lots to do here; admire large stately rooms and beautiful architecture, explore the spectacular castle grounds, or learn a little about the popular films and TV shows that have been filmed here.
After spending time in Alnwick, we make our way back over the border and into Scotland. On our drive home we’ll entertain you with tales of the turbulent past before arriving into Edinburgh early evening.
