The Neighborhood:
Muggles Mews is located in the centre of Alnwick allowing you to explore the many shops, restaurants and bars of this wonderful market town.
Site of many a medieval skirmish, the Northumberland countryside is dotted with evidence of its turbulent past between Scotland and England. Crumbling castle ruins stand alongside Roman feats of engineering – Hadrian’s Wall stretches the length of the county. And there are just as many restored castles, like Alnwick and Bamburgh Castle to sample what life would have been like in the days of yore. Muggles Mews backs onto Alnwick Castle so you are ideally placed to explore a historic site which has been a location of filming for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.
Northumberland National Park dominates the north of the county, where Kielder Forest Park is home to all kinds of adventure sports and a dark sky park stretches over the moorlands. On the coast, fishing villages are set around cute little harbours, piled high with lobster pots. Take a boat out to the Farne Islands to spot puffins and seals, or cross the tidal causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne where a crumbling priory and clifftop castle make for dramatic sights. Just don’t let the tide catch you out.
Getting Around:
There are a number of bus stops throughout Alnwick and the Alnwick’s main bus station is just a 3 minute walk away from the property. Hop on the X20 which takes you through to Newcastle with stops in beautiful areas of Northumberland like Alnmouth and Amble. The X18 route travels between Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed with stops in Morpeth, Amble and Seahouses
