Alnwick

England

Alnwick sits 35 miles north of Newcastle on the A1, making it a convenient stop between Scotland and the Northeast. The medieval market town lies five miles inland from Northumberland's coast, with the A1068 providing scenic coastal connections. Local routes include the B6341 to the Cheviots and B1340 to Alnmouth. The town center occupies elevated ground above the River Aln, with narrow medieval streets requiring careful navigation. Alnwick Castle famously doubled as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
