Holy Island, Alnwick Castle & Northumbria Tour from Edinburgh
Embark on a one-day tour from Edinburgh to Northumbria, once a medieval hub of art and learning. Visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, accessible by a tidal causeway, to explore Priory ruins, sample Lindisfarne ‘Mead,’ and enjoy serene island views. Admire Alnwick, a bustling market town home to the Percy family’s Alnwick Castle, famously featured in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. Don’t miss the spectacular Alnwick Garden. In the afternoon, cross the River Tweed into Coldstream, a historic border town, with an optional visit to Flodden Field, the site of a key 1513 battle.
