My favourite place

Especially on a cold and rainy afternoon

Barter Books Shelves

Barter Books is a second hand bookshop houses in the former train station in the Northumberland town of Alnwick (also famous for Alnwick Castle, or the real-life location of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry).
Customers can bring in their old books in return for credit to spend in the store. There are also multiple fireplaces and cosy chairs for reading, along with a cafe situated in the old first-class waiting rooms.
