You can discover the town centre or explore the castle itself which is considered one of the finest castles in England and was even used in the Harry Potter films. After you've been dazzled by Alnwick, it's time to head north once again where you'll see the River Tweed, the historic border town of Coldstream and Flodden Field. This tour promises to show you some of the star attractions of Scotland and England!
We had a good trip. More time at Lindesfarne so we could walk to the priory and explore the town would have made the trip ideal.

Super leuke dagtrip. We hadden een geweldige gids mee (Paul Santa), die op een leuke manier de historie vertelde over de plekken waar we langs kwamen en waar we stopten om de plekken te bezichtigen. Iedereen die mee was met deze tour kreeg persoonlijke aandacht van de gids. Zo werden tevens verdiepende vragen over de historie beantwoord.
