Alnwick does not have an airport or a train station, so you will have to plan your trip accordingly.  The closest airport is the Newcastle Airport, about 45 kilometres away.  If you want to travel by train, then you can go as far as Alnmouth, and then take a bus or hail a taxi to go the final 8 kilometres.  Buses run regularly from Newcastle, so this is an option.  Your best travel choice though is to simply drive as Alnwick lies on the A1 leading from Newcastle.
