Cottages
in Harry Potter Country for self-catering holidays
The broomsticks
scene of Harry
Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were filmed at Alnwick Castle in
Northumberland. The castle opens for the season in March.
It's likely to be a popular place for visits during the summer.
If you haven't
visited Northumberland before, perhaps this year is the year to do
it. It's a wonderfully wild and rugged county, great for
walkers and lovers of the outdoors. The next place further north
is Scotland - so it's a long way north but well worth the visit.
You may wish to
add a trip to Holy Island or Lindisfarne, the ancient seat of
Christianity, which is off the Northumbrian coast.
Your children will have heard of Hadrian's wall - it's here too, all
waiting to be discovered. Treat yourself to an adventure - visit
Northumberland.
