Highlights

Wizards, warriors, and a wee bit of seaside mischief - this small-group adventure’s got it all!


We’re heading south to the Anglo-Scottish border, where blood-soaked battlefields tell tales of centuries-old clashes. Then, it’s off to the jaw-droppingly gorgeous seaside village of Bamburgh. Fancy a wild run along the beach? Go for it! Want to explore the mighty Bamburgh Castle, standing proud since the 5th century? Even better.


But let’s be honest, you’re really here for Hogwarts, aren’t you? That’s right, we’re off to Alnwick Castle, where Harry Potter took his first broomstick flight! Soak up its spellbinding history, pose like a wizard, and channel your inner Gryffindor (or Slytherin, we don’t judge). And if you’re more into period drama than magic wands, you’ll be chuffed to know this grand fortress also starred in Downton Abbey.


Epic battles, coastal beauty, and a dash of movie magic, aye, this one’s a belter!

hi, 10 Sept 2024 Monday we begin the tour to Alnwick Castle with mid-size van for 1.5 hour drive one way, fairly comfortable. For the most part, the meeting point is located at the old town hot-spot, which is the office of the adventure company that offers toilet at the basement before a long-haul ride after a full breakfast. Alnwick Castle is worth to go before you die. regards, LuciaJoe from San Francisco
