The Alnwick Garden is one of the most exciting contemporary gardens on earth. A garden for gardeners, with a design that looks to the future. It's a stunning attraction and a floral wonderland.
Just ten years ago the garden site was empty and derelict, it took the bold vision of the Duchess of Northumberland to transform it into the world-class attraction you can enjoy today. The Alnwick Garden belongs to a charity, The Alnwick Garden Trust, which is fundraising to complete the landscape.
You can see acres of fascinating plants, water sculptures and the infamous Poison Garden. The landscape is eclectic, from the gentle waves of colour and scent in the Rose Garden to the riotous water displays of the Grand Cascade.
But this isn't just an attraction for keen horticulturalists. The Alnwick Garden prides itself on being a place for families with lots of chances to get wet and play. You can collect water in the mini tractors, paddle in the rills, see the many ways water can move in the Serpent Garden and dodge the Grand Cascade’s jets.
There's also one of the world's largest wooden tree houses to explore as well as regular creative performances and tours, hands-on workshops, fabulous local food and inspirational gifts from Northumberland.
Open 364 days a year, The Alnwick Garden is a garden for all seasons, from the bulbs and blossoms of spring to summer’s roses and delphiniums, autumn’s fruits and rusty colours and winter’s evergreen bamboo and topiary.
It’s a wonderful garden, and an even better day out.
