The Alnwick Castle Podcast is 50 episodes old!
To celebrate making it to 50 podcasts, and because it is almost Christmas... we have devoted this special episode to some of the questions you have asked about Alnwick Castle - some of the most popular questions that are often asked about the castle itself and its history. Our hosts Deborah and Daniel tackle these questions and do their best to answer them, from favourite rooms and items in the collection to the age of the castle and whether it ever really had a Great Hall.
A technical note: we had some trouble with a microphone cable during recording, and so you may notice some variation in volume when Daniel is speaking.
We make reference during this episode to several of our previous 49 podcasts. If you haven't heard them already, do go back and listen to:
