Castles

Colossal castles and luscious landscapes are par for the course in North East England.

North East England has more castles than any other English region and some of the most beautiful. The awe-inspiring Bamburgh Castle stands high atop sand dunes on the Northumberland Heritage Coast and was recently voted one of the best views in Britain. Raby Castle offers a complete contrast, surrounded by lush green fields which are home to one of England's largest herds of wild red deer; this is a picture perfect location for a picnic. Perhaps the most famous castle in North East England is the beautiful Alnwick Castle, the setting for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
