FilmsquareAugust 4, 2013The outer bailey of Alnwick Castle was used in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) to film Madame Hooch’s flying lesson scene, where Harry's skills are spotted by Professor McGonagall
- FilmsquareAugust 5, 2013Harry and Ron crash land the Ford Anglia into the Whomping Willow and barely escape on the grounds of Alnwick Castle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002).
Sarah MedlicottOctober 10, 2019What a great day. Not the cheapest but you can easily spend a whole day here. So much to do for all ages. From the fascinating history to Harry Potter Broomstick lessons. Highly recommended
Danielle .September 4, 2019A location used in the first couple Harry Potter films. Beautiful courtyards to walk about, and they have several activities you can participate in, such as broom training, like in the first HP film.- Pink 386June 12, 2023Incredible castle with lots to see and do. They're are three tours on the ground but we did the film tour, which takes roughly 45 mins. Also fascinating to learn about the family who still live there.
It's an amazing historical structure that I've been incredibly fortunate enough to call home on and off since 2007. There are so many hidden passageways!
Anastasia BelozertsevaOctober 11, 2015Definitely worth stopping by, even in bad weather. Scenic views, and great atmosphere. Don't miss the gardens and the treehouse.- John BoothJuly 13, 2015The gardens are very good, if a little pricey, especially if you have kids in tow. Be sure to check out the dangerous plants tour.
- Chris PotterAugust 24, 2014While the castle has some great history, and has the Harry Potter film legacy, it's the gardens you really want to see!
Carl GriffinNovember 23, 2015visit the tree house. scenes from harry potter and blackadder I were filmed here.
Matthew BatyJanuary 16, 2015Really interesting place with loads to do. Great staff and catering, and Harry Potter was filmed here 😲
The castle is great for all the family! Try out the creepy dungeon
GraemeJune 15, 2013We ended going back the next day cos, with the gardens too, there was too much to get done in one day!
John PaulMay 5, 2014Not sure if they still charge for parking but all parking free in Alnwick town from April 2014 and it's much closer
Estefanía DKApril 3, 2016Difficult to find and get by public transport. No need to buy the extra garden ticket, waste of money.
