On my first visit to Newcastle, UK, a friend who lives there drove me to Alnwick Castle. It only took about fifty minutes by car from Newcastle. Although I'm not a die-hard Harry Potter fan, I do enjoy the movies, especially the scenes where they learn magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Some scenes at Alnwick Castle were used for the outdoor broomstick training. Alnwick Castle was built in the 11th century and is the second largest castle in the UK. When I arrived in the morning, I saw a group of people, both adults and children, participating in a 3D broomstick game, reenacting scenes from the movie, which was quite interesting. The Percy family, who own Alnwick Castle, still reside there, so you have the opportunity to tour the interior and learn about their family history, including their roles in wars and their relationship with the royal family. It's a lesson in British noble history. However, photography is not allowed inside, so you have to experience it firsthand. The outdoor area is vast, and you can enjoy rolling on the grass with your family. In spring and summer, there are beautiful flowers for photo opportunities. The castle's restaurant is also quite good. We bought sandwiches and coffee and ate outside. Fortunately, it was sunny and not too windy, so we could enjoy the sunlight. Additionally, the castle shop sells Harry Potter memorabilia, so you might want to set aside some time to check it out. The castle tickets are valid for a year, allowing multiple entries, but remember that it is closed in winter.

#harrypotter #Broomstick Harry Potter Magic Broomstick Opening hours: The castle itself is open from 9am to 5pm. Broomstick Training There are only two classes, 11:30am and 2pm. As the number of participants is limited and online booking is not possible, we recommend that you go there early to get tickets for the class. Location: Alnwick NE66 1NQ, United Kingdom Price per person: If you book tickets online, it is 20.5 pounds. If you buy them on the spot, it may be more expensive. The one-time admission fee is an annual pass. Why we recommend it: Harry Potter fans can't miss it. Itinerary management: It takes about 18 minutes by bus from the nearest train station, Alnmouth. It is a 10-minute walk from the nearest Alnwick bus station. Delays are bad and waiting times are long, so it is recommended to plan ahead. Atmosphere/facilities: It feels like you are surrounded by magic. Harry Potter Flight: You cannot drop off your suitcase, so it's best to travel light.

it was very nice experience to visit alnwick castle , harry porter spot nice small town some good bars around as well , its more famous as hogwarts a harry porter school

A book shop like no other! Previously a train station and now a second hand book shop with an amazing collection of limited edition and historical books as well as standard books. A must visit for any 📖🐛!

Address - Alnwick NE66 1NQ, United Kingdom (2 hours car/train ride from Edinburgh) Highlights - One of UK's largest inhabited castles. Harry Potter film connection. Rating - 5/5 For those of you who are Harry Potter fans, this is a wonderful place that you should visit! When you visit the castle, be sure to explore the state rooms and see all the interesting details of the place. Also, plan your broom lesson and dragon quest in advance since there are limited slots available throughout the day. My friends and I took part in a tour that we found convenient to get to and the tour guide was very friendly to discuss historical moments with us. To ensure that you don't miss out on important sights, I suggest you go there through a tour rather than traveling on your own. #travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#culturalattractions

Annick Castle, located in the city of Annick in the north of England, is a medieval-century building with a reputation as North Windsor in the Victorian era and the main residence of the Duke of Northumberland. This is also the location of the Harry Potter movies and Downton Manor. Harry Potter's first flying broom was filmed here. Castle Because of the Harry Potter movie, a broom sweeping class was also opened in the castle, attracting many fans to visit and experience. Before class, the professor will step on the trolley to bring the magic broom for class, one for each student, and then the professor will teach us how to operate it~ and there are movies The difference is that these brooms are not magical. You can't get up when you say "Up!" to it. The whole class is about an hour or so, and there is practice time. The class is full of joy. In addition to the flying broom, there are also exhibitions in the castle.
