Newcastle to Alnwick

Duration: 45mins
Main Route: A19, A1

This is quite a nice drive if you go the scenic route or some motorway if you don't. Alnwick is a lovely part of Northumberland with a vibrant town, a treehouse and a huge second hand bookstore - Barter Books. Depending on your approach and route you may find the 50mph single carriageway a bit dull but it is reasonably scenic.

Bear in mind that this route can lead to Berwick/Scotland so it can get a bit busy. Heading on motorway watch the very sharp left in to Alnwick town centre - it can take some by surprise. When in Alnwick, make sure to stay in one of the fantastic b&b's as well as enjoying some local real ales. Top destination!
