Alnwick Castle is a grand medieval fortress located in Northumberland, in the north of England, and was first built in the late 11th century to defend against Scottish invasions. For over 700 years it has been the seat of the Percy family, one of England’s most powerful noble families, and remains a lived-in home as well as a popular visitor attraction. Today, the castle is known not only for its impressive stone walls and rich history but also for its gardens, museum collections, and appearances in films and television series such as Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.
