Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Lindisfarne, conosciuta anche come Isola Santa, è un'isola unica collegata alla terraferma da una strada rialzata. Questo porta al pittoresco villaggio di Lindisfarne che offre una vista sensazionale sul Priorato che condivide il suo nome. Durante i mesi invernali, il Priorato è chiuso ma siamo in grado di visitare gli splendidi giardini. L'isola è anche sede di monaci, che producono il famoso "idromele" di Lindisfarne. Mentre siete qui, immergetevi nella pace e nella tranquillità per cui l'isola è rinomata. Qualora non fosse possibile visitare Holy Island a causa delle condizioni di marea, questo tour visiterà il pittoresco villaggio marinaro di St Abbs, dal nome di una principessa del Northumberland che fu portata a riva nella zona in seguito a un naufragio. Potresti anche riconoscere il villaggio, e i suoi splendidi dintorni di costa frastagliata e baie dal film Avengers : Endgame, poiché è stato il luogo delle riprese di New Asgard.
Da qui, continueremo lungo la costa nord-orientale dell'Inghilterra verso la vivace città di mercato di Alnwick, sede del magnifico Alnwick Garden (extra opzionale). Qui, potrete scegliere di visitare il Giardino con le sue meravigliose Grand Cascade e Poison Gardens, o trascorrere il vostro tempo esplorando le affascinanti strade della città. Mentre sei in città, potresti anche essere in grado di avvistare il Castello di Alnwick, famoso come luogo di riprese sia per Downton Abbey che per la serie di film di Harry Potter.
Il nostro tour torna a dirigersi verso nord, all'imponente castello medievale di Bamburgh (extra opzionale), risalente al V secolo. Il castello si estende su nove acri di terreno ed è uno dei più grandi castelli abitati del Regno Unito. La sua storia attraversa secoli, innumerevoli società, numerosi governanti e molte battaglie, ma l'imponente roccaforte si erge ancora oggi. Trascorri del tempo al castello per conoscere la sua storia colorata, nonché i molti miti, leggende e storie spaventose associate al castello. Si può anche riconoscere il castello dalle apparizioni in film e tv, come nell'ultima puntata del franchise di Indiana Jones, Il quadrante del destino.

We had an absolutely amazing experience on our Viator tour, and it exceeded all expectations from start to finish. Our tour guide, Laurna, was beyond fabulous—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of energy. She truly brought every stop to life with her storytelling and passion. Visiting Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland was unforgettable—the views alone are breathtaking, and it was so exciting to be somewhere tied to iconic filming locations like Game of Thrones. Alnwick Castle was just as magical, especially knowing scenes from Harry Potter were filmed there. Walking the same grounds made it feel like stepping right into the movies! The entire day was perfectly organized, stress-free, and filled with incredible sights and fun facts. Laurna made sure everyone felt included and entertained throughout. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable, immersive experience in this beautiful part of England. Five stars all the way!

It was a terrible, very bad guide. I knew nothing. He did not report, besides his unwillingness to explain, nor where there were toilets could he say

Had an amazing trip with our guide Sam who managed to include a few extra stops along the way. Good humor and great knowledge on the history of the Scots. Feel free to reach out to TimberBush bus tours for a great time, any time!

My adult daughters and I recently took this tour at the end of November. Ash was our tour guide/bus driver. Because the destination is relatively close and it’s a small group tour (in a large comfortable van), we got to spend a lot of time seeing the sites versus driving. The Holy Island was inaccessible the day we had our tour, so obviously we couldn’t do that. I was very happy with the replacements though. We first stopped at St.Abbs which is absolutely beautiful, and the filming location of a Marvel movie. We then drove to Eyemouth to see the harbor. I took videos and pictures of the seal that hangs about there. Plus it’s a very pretty harbor, and it was interesting to see all the fishing boats. Our next stop was Alnwick. We got a quick photo stop to see the outside of the castle (closed during the winter). We then had the option of exploring the town, or visiting Alnwick. Garden (extra fee). I chose the garden. I got to see the famous (or infamous!) poison garden. I also walked around the adorable Lilidorei play land and Christmas tree village. Our last stop of the day was Bamburgh Castle. Absolutely gorgeous. It’s on a hillside overlooking a beach and the ocean. We first toured the castle (extra fee), which was decorated for Christmas. We then had time to walk along the beach and through the sand dunes. This tour ended up being one of our favorite things we did during our 10 day trip to Edinburgh. I felt like we really saw a lot in one day.
Hi there, Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave us such a kind review. We are sure Ash will be happy to hear that you enjoyed your time on tour with them, we will be sure to pass your kind comments onto them. Alnwick Castle is certainly an amazing sight to see with a spectacular garden. We are happy to hear you had a good time exploring the grounds! We also want passengers to be able to take to the poison garden tour as well! We are glad you enjoyed the views throughout the day and hope you were able to take some great photos. Please don't be a stranger, we hope to welcome you back on tour with us someday soon! Kind regards, Faye
This tour was absolutely unbelievable. I’ve travelled all over Scotland and visited more than a dozen castles, and Bamburgh Castle is my favourite by far. Our guide, Ash, was fantastic, he explained the history along the way in such an engaging and informative way. If you’re thinking about going on this tour, do it! You’ll be beyond happy that you did
Hi there! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland and Alnwick Winter Adventure with Ash! His engaging stories and fantastic facts really make a tour fun! Bamburgh Castle really is an unbelievable sight and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time there! We hope that you will join us again on tour and we can show you some more amazing scenery! Best wishes, Elizabeth
Incredible experience and overall tour! Went to some fantastic places finishing up in Bamburg. Ash was our tour guide and was brilliant! Made the trip. Not only was he a really nice guy but his knowledge of Edinburgh, Scotland and the places we visited were incredible. The history lessons and story telling on the tour bus going from location to location made the journeys just as interesting as the actual places we visited! We come up to Edinburgh from London usually once a year and this is the first time booking a tour like this and it’s safe to say we’ll be booking another one for sure when we come back! (And likely asking if we can tour with Ash again!)
Dear Sam, Thank you for the amazing review about Ash and your tour! We're glad you enjoyed your time visiting the Northumbria area. It really is a lovely, scenic route and hopefully you got to learn more about Scotland's medieval history. Ash really knows how to make a tour fun with his great sense of humour and fascinating stories. We will make sure to pass along the kind words! We hope we can welcome you on another tour soon! Kind regards, Fatima
This was a great experience. Jim our tour guide was knowledgeable, caring, and such a joy! He knew what he talked about. Learned a lot of new facts from him. Wonderful music played through the bus ride. Was worried how my neurodivergent kid would have this but she enjoyed herself! A great day for the neurodivergent kids is always a plus! My reason for booking was Bamburgh. I loved Timberbush Tours offered Bamburgh and made it so easy to schedule. Although Alnwick Castle was closed, all 3 locations were beautiful and a blessing to see. This is also a great tour for movie/TV site tourists; Holy Island - 28 Years Later, Alnwick - Harry Potter 1 & 2 and Robin Hood, and Bamburgh Castle - Downtown Abbey and The Last Kingdom. Can't wait to book my next tour when I come back to Scotland!
Hi Jessica, Thank you for your amazing review! We are so happy to hear you had a great time on tour with Jim! He certainly knows how to make a tour fun. We will be sure to pass your kind comments onto him. We pride ourselves in providing tours that are suitable for all people, and we are glad your kid enjoyed herself! We hope to see you again sometime soon so we can help you experience more of the magic of Scotland. Kind regards, Sandy
This was a great trip/tour. Jim our tour guide was amazing. He gave facts and info on the road and at location. He knows his stuff and what he is doing! Although Alnwick Castle was closed all 3 locations were stunning and I was excited I had enough time to walk Bamburgh Castle which was my main reason booking this tour. Happy my neurodivergent daughter enjoyed herself as I worried how was she going to handle it. I would definitely book again with Timberbush tours. This is a great tour if you are a movie site visitor Holy Island - 28 Years Later, Bamburgh Castle - The Last Kingdom, Alnwick - Harry Potter 1 & 2 as well as Downtown Abbey and Robin Hood.
