    A wonderful bookshop, I don't think there is anywhere quite like it anywhere else. From first editions and antique books with a hefty price tag to modern day best sellers Barter books has the lot. The place is full of character with lots of quirky touches and a cafe if you fancy a coffee or snack. It would be easy to spend a great deal of time here and many people do! An absolute must for anyone who loves books - if you're in the Alnwick area put it on your list of places to visit, you won't regret it.

    This bookshop outdoes others. Although a secondhad shop it outdoes other shops. It has a bigger stock, better reading spaces, better staff and a train set. Better than the rest. Browse here.

    An electric train circles the shelves in one of the rooms of this shop.

    Quite simply the best book shop in Britain. Enough said.
