Gardens, Homes and Castles of the North East

A chance to explore three of the North East’s best-known gardens as the seasons change. Just over 10 years ago, Alnwick Garden was a derelict wasteland; today it is an inspiring landscape with beautiful gardens, unique features and magnificent architecture. The nearby Medieval Alnwick Castle also features in this tour as, does Wallington House, the home of the unconventional Trevelyan family. Explore the history of Northumberland in the impressive house, lawns, lakes and woodlands and visit the walled garden, a colourful haven of tranquillity whatever the season. Finally visit Crook Hall and Gardens in the heart of Durham. The 13^th century Medieval Hall provides a stunning backdrop to the idyllic English theme gardens.
