We travelled by train/ bus from Edinburgh and found all staff we met along the way were extremely helpful. We had 3 generations- grandparents in their 70's, parents 40's and 2 primary aged children. There were concessionary tickets available for the pensioners and there was a nominal 1pence charge for the children so overall good value we thought. The first... more

To break up a long drive from Aberdeen to Newcastle, we decided to stop off at Alnwick Gardens. How disappointed we were! After paying the reduced price of 6 pounds 50 each for seniors, we walked the walled garden and rose garden in the rain and they were OK, but nothing special.

On arrival we were ushered to a Car park that required us to walk a halve... more

My daughter's dance troupe participated in the 2003 Alnwick International Music Festival in Alnwick England. We were fortunate to stay in a dormitory area of the castle for 9 nights. Therefore we were on the castle grounds quiet a bit, but only toured the castle one time. The area is very lovely and we enjoyed the area and the village... more
