Alnwick Castle
A filming location from Harry Potter in Northumberland.
The scene
The castle's outer bailey is where the first films staged Harry's broomstick flying lessons, the lawns Madam Hooch teaches on.
How to visit
Paid entry; the castle runs daily broomstick-flying sessions on the same lawns, which kids love. It's still a family home, so opening is seasonal, check dates. Allow half a day.
