Alnwick Castle - the origins of the Castle date back to the Norman period. Since 1309, its story has been intertwined with that of the Percy family, a family with a history as illustrious as the castle’s own. The second largest inhabited castle in the UK, Alnwick has served as a military outpost, a teaching college, a refuge for evacuees, a film set, and not least as a family home. The incunbent Duke & Duchess of Northumberland have developed Alnwick Castle as a significant visitor attraction and a garden renaissance in the creation of The Alnwick Garden.
