Frequently Asked Questions
The Number 1 asked question seems to be “I put NE66 3NT in the GPS and I’m somewhere in Alnwick - how do we find you?” Go back to the A1, find the B1340 - it has signs for Alnwick Garden if you’re on the A1, and follow the signs for Boulmer RAF. When you’re in Longhoughton, watch for the Fishing Boat Inn sign and we’re 200 yards towards Boulmer on the left. Here’s the link
How long does it take to Newcastle ? It’s 39.6 miles to the Metro Centre, straight down the A1, so you can be seriously shopping beside the Tyne in 45 minutes
How long does it take to Edinburgh ? It’s 88 miles to Princes Street, so allow about 90 minutes to be at the shops, Holyrood, or Edinburgh Castle. Even better, take the train - 15 a day from Alnmouth to Edinburgh, taking just over an hour and on the scenic East Coast main line
How far away from Alnwick Garden are you ? about 3 miles, just follow the road towards Alnwick and you pass the entrance
How many Castles within 20 miles? Lets see - Bamburgh, Warkworth, Alnwick, Dunstanburgh, Eglingham,Chillingham, oh,and Lindisfarne - but that’s 38 miles, and a good place for a picnic.
