Northumberland- Alnwick Castle

Welcome back for season 2 of Podcastles! 🎉

To get this show on the road (and whizzing away on a broom...) this week, we're taking a look at Alnwick Castle, as we start our exploration of Northumberland.

Well... Northumberland part 1.

There are far too many castles in this county to cover in a month, so this time we are just focusing on the A’s and B’s!

Alnwick castle with almost a thousand years of history, which has been home to many Earls (and then Dukes) of Northumberland, and seen many a battle.

As always, please do rate, review and subscribe! You can also let us know what you thought of the episode by finding us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, or by emailing podcastlespodcast@gmail.com.

See you next week!
