After breakfast, we journey to discover the highlights of Northumberland. Our first stop at historic Alnwick. Though the famous castle is closed at this time of year, the town itself is a fascinating place to wander the cobbled streets and visit the cosy tea rooms and independent shops. For book lovers, why not visit Barter books, one of the largest second hand bookshops in the country? After exploring Alnwick and doing a spot of Christmas shopping, you could visit one of the town’s snug cafes for a coffee or hot chocolate!
We then carry on to Bamburgh to visit its famous castle, boasting magnificent decorations at Christmas. Wander through the castle’s festive-themed rooms and take in dazzling displays of kaleidoscopic colours, foliage, and twinkling lights. The theme is inspired by Northumberland’s myths and legends, journey through the Castle’s staterooms steeped in stories and folklore, and discover a world sprinkled full of fairy magic. You will also be able to view the amazing Northumberland coastline from this stunning viewpoint.
We return back to the hotel in time for our Christmas dinner and festive quiz in the lounge.
