The Alnwick Garden

About The Alnwick Garden

This information is just a snapshot to get you intrigued – best to visit the website for full details!

The Alnwick Garden is perhaps best known for its grand cascade waterfall, which is pretty spectacular.

But what impresses most is the sheer scale and variety of gardens and water features on show.

You have a choice of the The Rose Garden, The stunning Taihaku Cherry Orchard, The intriguing Poison Garden, The Serpent Garden and the Bamboo Labyrinth.

And if that isn’t enough there are the Roots and Shoots allotments and to round it off the Ornamental Garden and Apiary!!

So no shortage of gardens to visit! I am really just scratching the surface here.

There is also a pond, adventure golf and a woodland walk – check that the latter is open though.

And above all they are child and accessibility friendly.
