Pernicious & Pestilence - Alnwick Old Town
Dark tourism walks are meant for the dark! You will be taken down dark alleys, stand next to spectral bodies, hear strange noises, see unusual sights and walk with spirits as they follow you around your own personal journey.
The original town of Alnwick was conceived as a crossing point towards Scotland and consequently many a battle has taken place fighting the Scots.
For over 900 years, the Percy family, including the Earls of Northumberland and later the Dukes, resided in the castle, making it a significant part of Northumberland's history. Alnwicks 'Old Town' wanders and meanders through grave yards, past ruins and on to the famous bridge crossing to soak up the atmosphere. Many mysteries still exist within the 'Old Town' dating back centuries, explaining the background to many of today's haunting's.
