Alnwick Castle
Alnwick Castle is a castle and stately home in the town of Alnwick in the English county of Northumberland. It is the seat of the Duke of Northumberland, built following the Norman conquest, and renovated and remodelled a number of times. It is the second largest stately home in the country (after Windsor Castle).
Today it is more or less a large theme park with many attractions for children. For example a broomstick flying training on the castle green. This is because the castle was used as a stand-in for the exterior and interior of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. The castle was also used for an episode of Downton Abbey.
Unfortunately it is not possible to take pictures inside the buildings. Therefore the gallery here is just limited to snapshots taken outside.
