Outside / ParkingThe garden is conveniently accessible from two directions; guests can enter either through the back door of the cottage or through an additional secure entrance from the front street, which is particularly beneficial after a muddy dog walk. Keys are provided to ensure seamless access. The garden is fully gated for security and is beautifully split over two distinct levels. The lower level features gravel and is equipped with a comfortable bench, while a few steps lead gracefully up to the upper section. This upper area is also gated and offers a delightful setting with a table and chairs, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine during those warm summer evenings, as we often find it to be a lovely sun trap. For added ambiance, there are solar lights and a main outdoor light available for use during the darker evenings, if required. Additionally, there is a hosepipe conveniently located in the back garden for any gardening needs.
Ample free on-street parking is available on Lisburn Street, with spaces usually found right in front of the cottage for your convenience.
Visiting Alnwick, pronounced to sound like ‘panic’, is like stepping into a fairytale, where you can dine in the twinkling treetops of one of the world’s largest treehouses, fly a broomstick at Alnwick Castle, and visit a sleeping Giant at The Alnwick Garden.
Just a short walk through Alnwick’s winding streets and past the archway of Bondgate Tower, the only remaining chunk of the town walls, will take you to Barter Books ; one of the cosiest cafes in the county, this once Victorian railway station is now one of the biggest antiquarian bookshops in the UK, just down a few minutes walk from Castle Walk House.
Alnwick Castle is spellbinding, as its starring role as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry casts a hint of magic over the grounds. Get lost in the history of the medieval architecture and opulent Italianate State Rooms of the Duchess of Northumberland’s family home (Percy family and Dukes of Northumberland since 1309) this is a great day out for the family.
Combine your visit with a trip to The Alnwick Garden, the enchanting site that holds 4000 different plants, a Grand Cascade, a mysterious Poison Garden and a seasonal cherry orchard. From the end of April - early May, the largest collection of Japanese Taihaku cherry blossoms in the world blooms here, so perch on one of the swinging benches and watch the delicate petals flutter in the breeze. Explore The Alnwick Treehouse, where indoor branches are intertwined with sparkling fairy lights and a flickering open fire takes centre stage. Those who are a little more adventurous can reach the restaurant via a wobbly bridge that becomes even more spectacular at night as fairy lights line the outdoor area.
Don't miss Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery, which holds over 10,000 years of history in its charming stone walls. Based in Alnwick's Castle Quarter, it was previously a church, meaning you can admire its beautiful architecture while you discover artefacts, photographs and audio visual displays that showcase fascinating stories through time.
Beautiful beaches only 5 miles away too.
