Day 3: An early start is needed for we've a big day ahead. Continuing North we almost reach the Scottish Borders where a fine Northumbrian castle, in the same titled family for hundreds of years was the location for many outdoor scenes (including the Quidditch games). The castle also has interesting interiors, some fine paintings and furniture, with newly enlarged spectacular gardens too. We spend the entire morning here then begin our journey south. A stop at the charming Yorkshire town of Richmond for a late lunch/early afternoon tea, with another (not HP) castle to visit if you wish. Leaving Richmond we've a motorway journey back to London arriving, dependant on road conditions around 11pm.
