Somewhere between the polished elegance of the French Riviera and the raw wilderness of Sardinia lies **Corsica**, a rugged Mediterranean island that refuses to be tamed.

Even if you’ve never heard of Alnwick Castle, chances are you’ve *seen* it. Maybe it was while watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, as first-year wizards learned to fly broomsticks on the lawn. Or perhaps in *Downton Abbey*, *Transformers: The Last Knight*, or even *Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves*. This castle is no stranger to the camera — and once you see it in person, you’ll understand why.
