A Hostel for Hogwarts?
Inspired by doings up the road in Wooler and Berwick, a community group is seeking to open a youth hostel in Alnwick. The Alnwick Community Development Trust have their eyes on a Grade II listed former Social Services office for conversion into a 60-bed hostel, according to the Northumberland Gazette.
Country Life once described Alnwick as the best place to live in Britain, noting “its location between some of England’s finest open hill-country to the west, and most impressive coastline to the east”. The town is dominated by Alnwick Castle which featured as Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter movies. If you have other literary tastes, the town’s also home to one of Britain’s biggest second hand bookshops.
All in all a promising place for a youth hostel. Grant applications are being considered over the next few weeks, to be followed by talks with YHA about operating the place. It could be a wizard place to stay!
