We didn’t do the garden this year. I love the garden but there were so many other things I wanted to see that I hadn’t done before.

Classic Alnwick Castle view, the first castle I visited as a child, the first guide book I bought with my pocket money & my introduction to stately homes. I can’t quite believe that the price has crept up to that level … no doubt Harry Potter influenced but I think they do a combined ticket for the garden as well. However it’s probably not something I want to do on the same day, as it leaves no time for looking around the town which in a sense has pockets of its own charm to suit most tastes.

Wow, the image of that castle brought back a few memories for me, I visited there as a child in 1990 on holiday before we moved to the UK. Thanks for the memories!!

It is. It rather dominates the landscape. It is still lived in too, which is nice

I love how you and Mr. C get around, Cherry. If we lived there, we, too, would be English Heritage members and would take advantage of everything we could get our hands on! Good for you.

the occasional late nights with good company and drinks are quite nice CP!
