WALKER’S CAPITAL: ALNWICK

This medieval market town is dominated by its mighty castle; 1000 years old and one of the largest inhabited strongholds in Britain. Full of ancient buildings and cobbled streets, Alnwick is a wonderful place to explore on foot and is regularly voted one of the best places to live in Britain. Next to the castle, Alnwick Garden is a beautiful place to stroll around, while the town’s regular markets, museums, galleries, inns and craft shops make ideal destinations for tourists.
