Erm so what's in the third peri tower then? - it seems to peter out a bit! :) Nevilley
What does this mean? "The castle was first known of in 1096 when Yves de Vescy was Baron of Alnwick." It would be good if this could be clarified - I assume that what is being got at is that its first recorded presence is then, or something - but it reads badly, becase it sounds as if 1096 was when people anywhere first heard of it, and I am sure this is not what was meant. Any offers please? -- Nevilley 07:26, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Is it still owned by the Duke of Northumberland? john k 15:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The garden and castle are distinct sites which are merely neighbours, there are connections to the duke and duchess and their estate but the garden is owned by the the Alnwick Garden Trust, a charity. Perhaps the Garden deserves its own article? ( 86.137.236.72 ( talk) 11:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC))
The introductory paragraph of this article claims over 800k visitors per year, off the back of an Economist articke which itself seems unsubstantiated. 800,000 visits seems erroneously high giving the typical visitor numbers to UK properties.
The article later on states the 195,504 number as stated by the Historic Houses Association (2006). This sounds like a much more likely number.
Can anybody find a more up-to-date visitor count? I'd like to remove the 800k figure from the article opener as this seems poorly sourced and feels wholly inaccurate. -- Johncrowther ( talk) 14:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
