Annick it is - but just a mile or two down stream from the town and on the coast is the little village of Alnmouth. Pronounced I was told as "Allan-mouth".

[quote user="Lineo"]I''ve heard a variety of ways of saying Alnwick,from ''Aln-wick'' to ''Annick''WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY!?![/quote]Annick is the correct pronounciation.  There is also a small town just north of Newcastle with the same Alnwick name and the same ''Annick'' way of saying it.  i dont know if its a geordie way but that is the way everyone is saying it. He aparently was born in the Northumberland town of Prudhoe which would explain the pronounciation being like the place name, Alnwick.

Indeed, and the castle there is where the title shots and a lot of scenes were shot for the first Blackadder series.

Originally, at least, his ancestor came from Alnwick (of castle fame) in Northumberland, probably. In which case it''s An-nick.

how do you say wymondham?

[Stukulele 0]

In the county of Wymondham, Happisburgh and Costessey, I guess anything''s possible... Perhaps Alnwick is pronounced ''Shackleton'' or Bananarama?

[Excited Canary 19]

Its pronounced A-nick! [;)]

It is definitely pronounced ''A-Nick'' as in the town of Alnwick (very local to me).

Mac P, Alnwick Castle has been used in films/tv on more than one occasion including, Blackadder, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and perhaps most famously as Hogwarts in Harry Potter.

ask a kid off a dodgy manchester estate what he does for a living, that''s the way to say Alnwicks name...
