Travelog post for: Gaspode

Today, we spent a little time in Alnwick. There is a big gardens here and castle. However, time was short and we wouldn't have had enough time to fully appreciate the gardens or castle.

We did walk around the outside of the castle.

This is the Lion Bridge.

Another entrance to the castle. There are statues all around the walls and there were gargoyles too.

We did have time to visit a small museum. Alnwick has an International Music Festival.

This museum had historical exhibits too. The area being close to the border with Scotland saw action.

Upstairs, there was an art exhibition.

Outside, there was a statue to Harry Hotspur. He was a fighter, and fought against the Scots and the French.

He led a rebellion against Henry IV and was forming an alliance with Owain Glyndwr but died on the battlefield in Shrewsbury.
