About Fencing in Alnwick
Alnwick is dominated by its castle, built in 1096 to guard a crossing of the River Aln and home to the Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland, almost continually since 1309. The castle is the second largest inhabited castle in the country and has featured in numerous film and television productions over the years. The town itself retains a good number of older buildings around its market place. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the NE66 postcode area.

Types of Materials found in Alnwick
Alnwick sits on ground shaped by the River Aln, where river valley deposits of sand and gravel overlie the sandstone and shale bedrock typical of this part of Northumberland. Ground closer to the river tends to be softer and more prone to holding water, while higher ground away from the valley, including much of the town itself, is generally firmer. The surrounding countryside is largely agricultural, and properties on the edges of town often border farmland.

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Alnwick?
Alnwick has a conservation area covering much of its historic centre around the castle and market place, where fencing changes may need extra consultation with Northumberland County Council. Standard rules apply elsewhere.
Does Alnwick's rural setting affect fencing needs?
Being surrounded by farmland, many Alnwick area properties border agricultural land, and stock proof fencing is a common requirement for anyone keeping animals or adjoining working farms.
