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.

Standing 867 feet above the surrounding prairie, with vertical walls that seem carved by giants, Devils Tower is one of the most striking natural wonders in the USA. This massive monolith in northeastern Wyoming has been a sacred site for Native American tribes for centuries — and a source of fascination, legends, and even Hollywood blockbusters.
