Unknown

The second biggest inhabited castle in England, after Windsor, this castle stands tall in curiosities. It features expositions on the Dukes of Northumberland's passion for archeology, the museum inside housing frescoes from Pompeii, relics from Ancient Egypt, Romano-British objects and so many more. There’s a tie for the Most interesting fact: You can either choose the fact that it is very photogenic, featuring in many films, the most popular of which was Harry Potter itself! Or you could go visit the poison garden – 26 acres of plants so poisonous and hallucinogenic that most of them have to be grown inside cages. Wizards and poison, somebody minds his Halloween very attentively.
