Harry Potter and English Castles - Spanish Tour Guide
Description
Embark on a full-day trip from Edinburgh into Northumberland, where history, cinema and enchanting landscapes blend seamlessly. The tour begins in Berwick-upon-Tweed, a coastal town with medieval walls and views over the North Sea, marking your crossing into England. The journey continues to Alnwick Castle, famous for its role in the Harry Potter films and still home to the aristocracy of Northumberland. You’ll have time to explore its grand rooms and magnificent gardens, enjoying the magical atmosphere that surrounds this iconic site. During the winter season, Alnwick Castle closes to visitors, and the tour visits the mystical island of Lindisfarne (Holy Island) instead, known for its medieval abbey, castle and tidal causeway. The experience also includes Bamburgh Castle, a fortress overlooking a white-sand beach and filled with centuries of stories. Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy Lowlands scenery, remarkable architecture and the unique charm of these legendary English landmarks.

Itinerary
Our first stop is Berwick-upon-Tweed, the first English village after the border. Here we will explore its historic centre and castle, enjoying views over the River Tweed and the North Sea, and have time for a stroll along the main street. Next, we visit Bamburgh Castle, set in a stunning location by a white sand beach. Films like El Cid, Robin Hood and Elizabeth were shot here. We can explore the castle’s interiors and its collection of aviation objects from both world wars. Then we stop at Alnwick Castle, the UK’s second-largest castle, first built in 1096. Fans of Harry Potter will recognise Hogwarts, and everyone can admire the gardens and Europe’s largest treehouse. During winter, Alnwick Castle is closed, and we will visit Lindisfarne, Holy Island, instead. Lunch is possible in Alnwick or on Holy Island. On the way back, we will stop in the picturesque village of Etal to see its 14th-century castle ruins before returning to Edinburgh. Etal is not visited during winter.

Very kind and interactive, entertaining.
The Harry Potter tour with Uxia Moon was incredible; you can tell the passion for the subject and the city at every stop. In the group, there were children and adults, and Uxia managed to ensure that we all had a great time, adapting the explanations and including mini-games to make the time more enjoyable. If you are a Harry Potter fan, this is your activity to learn more about the city that inspired the work and the behind-the-scenes of the literary saga. The truth is, it is a 10 out of 10 guide and a super recommended experience in my opinion.
Uxia Moon was a top-notch guide and explained everything wonderfully.
Spectacular guide! Uxía Oña! Thank you for everything!
We did the Harry Potter tour and it was magnificent; the experience is definitely worth it, and our guide was Mireia, who explains everything wonderfully and sets the atmosphere before and during the arrival at the castles. She is undoubtedly the best of all.

We have been with Ania, we loved the tour and learned a lot, we would repeat it and expand the information. Everything was perfect, and we would recommend it.
We had the tour with Enia and we had a great time. As a Harry Potter fan, I can say that the guide has a lot of knowledge. Additionally, she is fun and friendly!
Mirella was our guide, and she was very kind; she knew a lot about the places we visited, we had a great time, and we have very lovely memories.
