One thing that has crossed the minds of people here is 'did these people actually visit Alnwick before naming it the best town??' Now I'm not saying Alnwick is a bad place to live, as it's not at all, but it's not as exciting as it's made out to be. Though part of my school is right next to the ... more |

Well, that's not my opinion! It's official! Our little innocent town of Alnwick has been officially named the best town in England. Why??

How many times have I heard myself saying this. "Well actually it's pronounced An Nick not Aln Wick, the double u is silent". It's not the only silent thing about Alnwick.
