‘It’s a magical blend of history and modern living with the town centre cosily wrapped around the castle walls’
Alnwick may be best known for its castle that starred as the magical Hogwarts School in two Harry Potter films – but the charms don’t stop there for this bustling market town.
The historic old centre of town retains its higgledy-piggledy charm, but sympathetic developments on the outskirts provide enough housing stock and keep prices down. Independent shops vie with High Street regulars like WHSmith and Boots. There are five supermarkets, including an M&S Foodhall next to Turnbull’s – “the home of Northumbrian food since 1880”.
