Combine movie magic and historic wonder on this trip through the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. You will visit the picturesque seaside village of Bamburgh and take in the superb views of the 5th century Bamburgh Castle, sitting dramatically above the beautiful beach. Another highlight of the day is Alnwick Castle. This historic gem represents royal splendour and was a key filming location for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. Lose yourself in tales of the past, and the enchantment of it all, on this journey between the border of Scotland and England.
We leave Edinburgh in the morning and head south to the Borders. On the way to England you will see the gently rolling hills and dramatic coastlines of East Lothian. Our first stop is the beautiful coastal village Bamburgh. Take a stroll to the stunning beach and view the dramatic 5th century Bamburgh Castle sitting on a natural throne of volcanic rock.
In the afternoon we will meet the star of the show, Alnwick Castle. There is lots to do here; admire large stately rooms and beautiful architecture, explore the spectacular gardens or learn a little about all the popular films and TV shows that have been filmed here.
After spending time in Alnwick, we make our way back over the border and into Scotland. On our drive home we’ll entertain you with tales of the turbulent past before arriving into Edinburgh early evening.
