Good to Know

Alnwick's outdoor market sets up in the cobbled Market Place in the heart of the old town, with stalls selling local food, produce, crafts and homemade goods.

Why it's on our list: market days have been part of Alnwick life for centuries, and it's a good excuse to slow down, pick up something local and explore the shops and cafés around the square.

Worth knowing: the regular market runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays, though the stalls vary with the seasons.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
