Alnwick Castle- Where History Lives

Since 1309 the story of Alnwick Castle 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.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the Castle itself, the Percy family through the ages and the attached Alnwick Garden and Hulne Park. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout the guide also contains information on some of the many top  films and TV programmes that have had scenes filmed at the Castle, including Harry Potter, Downton Abbey and Robin Hood- Prince of Thieves.
