Overview
Embark on a full-day trip from Edinburgh into Northumberland, where history, cinema and enchanting landscapes blend seamlessly. The tour begins in Berwick-upon-Tweed, a coastal town with medieval walls and views over the North Sea, marking your crossing into England.
The journey continues to Alnwick Castle, famous for its role in the Harry Potter films and still home to the aristocracy of Northumberland. You’ll have time to explore its grand rooms and magnificent gardens, enjoying the magical atmosphere that surrounds this iconic site. During the winter season, Alnwick Castle closes to visitors, and the tour visits the mystical island of Lindisfarne (Holy Island) instead, known for its medieval abbey, castle and tidal causeway.
The experience also includes Bamburgh Castle, a fortress overlooking a white-sand beach and filled with centuries of stories. Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy Lowlands scenery, remarkable architecture and the unique charm of these legendary English landmarks.

We depart from 190 High Street, Edinburgh, driving through the Lowlands toward the English border.
Our first stop is Berwick-upon-Tweed, England’s northernmost town, where you can admire its castle ruins, medieval walls, and river views while enjoying a quick coffee.
WINTER ITINERARY NOTE: From Oct 22 to late March 2027, Alnwick Castle is closed and replaced by Lindisfarne (Holy Island). Accessible via a tidal causeway, you can explore its historic abbey, 16th-century castle, and coastal views (stop order depends on tides). Lunch will still be in Alnwick town.
When open, Alnwick Castle (Hogwarts in Harry Potter) lets you explore the Duke of Northumberland’s residence, gardens, and Europe's largest treehouse. Entry (£19.50) is cash only.
Next, we visit Bamburgh Castle, set over a white sand beach and featured in films like El Cid and Robin Hood. Entry (£9.50) is card only.
Finally, we head back to Edinburgh, finishing on Hanover Street.
