How to get there
Alnwick is well served by buses and trains (connecting bus from Alnmouth rail station on the East Coast main line) but many visitors will prefer the convenience of a car. We provide a visitor parking permit which can be used on Bailiffgate, usually within 20-30m of the property.
Castle Retreat is situated right next to the main entrance to Alnwick Castle at the junction of Bailiffgate and Narrowgate, around 300m north of the town centre.

Getting around
Alnmouth is well served by buses up the coast via Craster, Newton-by-the-Sea, Seahouses and Bamburgh, making day trips and walks in the Northumberland Coast AONB very convenient. There are frequent buses to the East Coast main line rail station at Alnmouth, from which you can get trains to Newcastle, Edinburgh, etc. There are also express buses to Newcastle. However, most visitors will prefer the convenience of a car allowing trips inland to the Northumberland National Park, Cragside, Kielder Water, Hadrian's Wall and Newcastle (just under 45 minutes away).
