Lindisfarne Castle

Perched dramatically on Holy Island, Lindisfarne Castle is a 16th-century fortress that seems to rise directly from the rugged coastline. Accessible via a tidal causeway, the journey itself is an adventure. Once inside, explore the intimate spaces transformed by renowned architect Edwin Lutyens in the early 20th century. Ascend to the rooftop for breathtaking panoramic views of the North Sea and the Northumberland coast. The castle's isolated location and rich history create an unforgettable and evocative experience.

Step into the magical world of Alnwick Castle, one of the largest inhabited castles in England and the ancestral home of the Dukes of Northumberland. Famous as a filming location for Harry Potter (Hogwarts!), Downton Abbey, and many other productions, the castle offers a blend of medieval architecture, opulent interiors, and sprawling grounds. Explore the State Rooms, wander through the beautiful gardens, and participate in historical re-enactments for a truly immersive experience. A day at Alnwick Castle is a journey through history, fantasy, and aristocratic grandeur.

Lindisfarne Priory
