Alnwick: Garden and Castle

This is a self-explanatory post with minimal captions due to the fact that owner of this blog, Dionn Lee is currently busy preparing for her dissertation proposal before leaving to Manchester for a 5days 4 nights trip.

#15 The Poison Garden

I didnt went it because i'm afraid of dead

nolah, because to go in, we have to follow the guide and listen to their long stories..

so we're just plain lazy (and maybe a little scare of dead)

#16 This isn't poisonous

#17 The Treehouse, which is one of the largest tree houses in the world

From Alnwick Garden, we have to walk to the castle which takes approximately 15 minutes :)

Alnwick Castle has been used as a setting for numerous films. Among the famous films are Harry Potter!

• Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Actually both the garden and castle are really huge, it's just that I'm very lazy to upload more photos. There are a lot of interesting things to see and do there; like you can actually dressed yourself up in Harry Potter's outfit, etc. I would feel that this trip is quite worth the money considering we're only paying £20 for coach travel and entrance tickets to both places.
