Whalton Manor Gardens
Whalton Manor is a beautiful private garden set in the heart of one of Northumberland's most picturesque villages. Open to groups of visitors, it offers a rare opportunity to see an historically significant garden which has been lovingly restored and updated.
The Manor House dates back to the 17th century and was altered by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1908. With the help of Gertrude Jekyll, the leading light of the arts and crafts gardening movement, he designed the 3 acres of magnificent walled gardens around the house. They have been developed by the Norton family since the 1920's and include a rose garden, listed summer houses, pergolas and walls festooned with rambling roses and clematis as well as magnificent herbaceous borders. The gardens are open by appointment only, and the owners offer guided tours with luxury experiences such as cream teas and champagne receptions.
