Lion Bridge & Alnwick Castle

Alnwick Castle rising above the snow-covered landscape, with the historic Lion Bridge sweeping across the foreground. A classic Northumberland winter scene, bringing together two of Alnwick’s most distinctive landmarks. The Lion Bridge was built in the 18th century to provide a grand approach to Alnwick Castle across the River Aln. Beyond it, the 900-year-old castle dominates the landscape, remaining the ancestral home of the Percy family, Dukes of Northumberland.
