There are lovely walks in the vicinity, including to Hulne Park which is the outer grounds of Alnwick Castle. An ideal apartment for couples and small families.
The apartment is centrally located with all the amenities and sights of Alnwick on your doorstep, including the world famous Alnwick Garden and the beautiful Alnwick Castle. The stunning heritage coastline is a 10 minute drive, and there’s a collection of pretty coastal villages dotted along this coastline which are all worth exploring, from Amble in the South, to Bamburgh in the North. Drive across the causeway to Holy Island, take a boat trip to the Farne Islands nature reserve, head inland for some hiking and cycling in the Cheviot Hills, and visit grand country houses such as Wallington Hall and Howick Hall - there’s something for everyone here.
