    Had a great day out yesterday at Alnwick castle, great for families. [​IMG] plenty of entertainment, games for children,birds of prey.
    Family tickets �£22 or Adults �£8.50 each well worth the money.

    wildflower, it is fabulous really well worth it, didnt see any ghosts and i wouldnt fancy going late at night i at a guess would think it would be eerie in them duncheons.
    you can visit the state rooms very nice expensive porcelain,chandaliers, paintings etc, you have to switch mobiles of and cant take pictures either.

    Alnwick castle is where Harry Potter is filmed ... I believe it is 'Hogwarts'

    I would love to visit Alnwick Castle.
    As a 'by the way', I was working for someone that lived in a Close called Alnwick Close, I MORI survey chap came up the the customer and asked 'Is this Alnwick Close', the customer then replied 'No, it's Allnwick Close' ...... Needless to say, I was chortling to myself :D
