Things to do around Berwick-upon-Tweed

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne

Steeped in history dating back to the year 635, learn about how Christianity flourished from this ancient location, how the Vikings nearly destroyed it entirely and taste the delicious coffee and mead brewed on the island.

Adventures at Alnwick Castle

Famously the location for the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey, this impressive castle and stately home was built in the 11th Century. It's open to the public, but is also occupied by the Percy family - the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. Tours are available through the impressive rooms of the stately home and the museums and exhibitions that portray the history of the castle and the surrounding areas. It's fascinating stuff and when you add in broomstick flying lessons, a dragon quest, treasure hunts, a tasty lunch at the cafe, a browse round the shop and a tour around the Alnwick Gardens - (featuring the intriguing Poison Garden) it's fair to say you should dedicate a full day to this wonderful place.

Alnwick Castle is a short drive along the A1 from Wigwam Holidays Pot-a-Doodle-Do and will be one of the highlights of your holiday when you're glamping in Northumberland. There are always new exhibitions and events on throughout the year - so be sure to check the website before you go.
