Be a Brit Different gives travelers tips on how to see Great Britain through the eyes of a local.  Here they suggest castle hopping for a day…including seeing Alnwick Castle which was featured as Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter movies!

If you start your journey at Aydon Castle, one of England’s finest examples of the medieval manor house, then make your next stop at Warkworth Castle and on to Alnwick Castle—which you may recognize from Harry Potter, you’ll have plenty of time to look out the window and out to sea as you approach 900-year-old Bamburgh Castle.

Visitors to Dalhousie Castle might not get to cross the original drawbridge over a deep dry moat- but they definitely won’t be lacking on the castle experience.  King Edward I stayed at the castle right before defeating Sir William Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk and thus, visitors can stay in one of the themed rooms such as the “William Wallace.” Also, guests can dine in the ancient barrel-vaulted dungeons. You might even find yourself staring at a suit of armour as you eat the traditional Scottish and Classical French cuisine. A prisoner you won’t be, but get out fast after you eat!
