| Additional information |
Alnwick Castle in Northumberland has served as the seat of the Percy family — the Dukes of Northumberland — since 1309, making it one of the longest continuously occupied castles in England. It gained a second life in popular culture as the exterior filming location for Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films, though that connection has no bearing on its selection here. The Isle of Man's ongoing commemorative 10p series pairs British Crown dependency coinage with mainland heritage sites, a program that has no statutory obligation to geographic consistency.
