Huh? I can do magic too!

Today is Madam Hooch's flying lesson 🧹

Alniwick Castle is the real Hogwash! The exterior of Hogwarts Castle in the Harry Potter films and some scenes, such as Harry's first flying lesson, were filmed here, making it internationally famous.

Interior decoration: Exquisitely decorated, showing the courtly decoration of the high Renaissance. For example, the red drawing room reconstructed in the 19th century, with French ebony closets; The materials and decorations of the library are very exquisite, and the roofs are carefully constructed with the themes of music, art and science respectively.

The Castle has also kindly prepared a broomstick lesson for Harry Potter fans, free tickets (first come, first served), teachers teach some passwords and movements, and then practice, the whole lesson is full of fun, about 1.5 hours.

Flying lessons are only open on sunny days, so keep an eye on the weather.

The castle was built in 1096, in order to prevent the invasion of the Scots, the current fortifications are still intact, the museum has a lot of knives, swords and halberds, knight armor and trebuchet, cannon, etc., it is said that there is a fixed time every day will be fired, that day did not see. For more than 2,700 years it has been the home of the Duke of Northumberland's family, the Perthes, and is currently one of the largest inhabited castles in England.

In addition to Harry Potter, the castle has been the filming location for many movies, appearing in films such as Transformers: The Last Knight, Downton Abbey, Elizabeth and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves!

The castle also has many activities, haunted houses, theater shows, the family has been prosperous for 700 years, the castle is really big, and there is a moat around it! It's usually a war with Scotland, where Scotland meets England! I was shivering from Edinburgh.

On the day we went to the flying class, there were four classes, namely 11am 11:30am 2pm 2:30pm. When we went to the flight class, the one at 11:30 was in progress, so we missed the one at 2pm in the morning, which also made it too late to go to the garden.

The flight class is booked in the Dragon Quest area, it is recommended to ask the door or it is a little difficult to find, there is a small haunted house is very interesting, the children have walked three circles, don't miss it.

The haunted house is really quite conscientious, you can see in the picture, that is a mirror house, the atmosphere is full! Halloween atmosphere is coming!

Alnmouth is an hour away from Edinburgh by train, then take the X20! There are also many small shops, super fun! There are also good restaurants, which are described in another note! Reading week or weekend do not know where to play, really recommended!
