A new free bus service is being trialled in Alnwick this summer in a bid to boost visitor numbers at Alnwick’s major attractions and the town centre.
The 'Alnwick Attractions Bus' will run on a circular route linking the attractions and stopping in the town centre seven times a day between 10am and 4pm, starting on the hour from Greenwell Road Car Park D.
The bus will call at the Visitor Information Centre at Alnwick Playhouse, The Alnwick Garden, Lilidorei, Barter Books, Aln Valley Railway, Howling Lane visitors’ car park, Alnwick Castle (also for Bailiffgate Museum), Alnwick Market Place and Bondgate Within. Each circular journey will last approximately 50 minutes. The bus will carry passengers between these stops free of charge to encourage and facilitate more visits to all the attractions in addition to the town centre’s vibrant range of independent retailers and national chain stores.
The bus service will operate between Saturday 22nd July and Sunday 3rd September.
