Description

Embark on a captivating day trip from Edinburgh to the historic castles and scenic coastline of Northumberland, England. This small group tour takes you across the border, offering panoramic views of rolling countryside and dramatic shores as you journey south.

Your first destination is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, renowned for its sweeping beaches and the imposing Bamburgh Castle. Explore the village’s tranquil charm while your guide shares stories of ancient kings and Viking invasions that once shaped this coastal stronghold.

In the afternoon, experience the magic of Alnwick Castle, famed for its role as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Discover the centuries-old home of the Duke of Northumberland, marvel at its grand architecture, and immerse yourself in its cinematic and historical legacy.

Travel in comfort with included transportation and a knowledgeable guide, plus downloadable audio guides in multiple languages. Please note that entry tickets to both castles are not included and should be purchased on site. The tour lasts approximately 8.5 hours, with a return to Edinburgh by early evening.
