Enjoy this fabulous day trip to explore both Alnwick Castle & Gardens
An enjoyable day trip to include both Alnwick Castle & Gardens with inclusive admission.
Alnwick Castle - has over 950 years of history to discover, and the origins of the Castle date back to the Norman period. Since 1309, its story has been intertwined with that of the Percy family, a family with a history as illustrious as the castles own.
The second largest inhabited castle in the UK, Alnwick has served as a military outpost, a teaching college, a refuge for evacuees, a film set, and not least as a family home. Delve deeper into this extraordinary history and travel through the centuries of this living, evolving castle.
Alnwick Gardens - Home to the world's largest Tai Haku Cherry Orchard, a Grand Cascade comprising 120 water jets and the world's largest Treehouse restaurant.
Built to be unconventional, The Alnwick Garden is a unique, contemporary garden in the heart of Northumberland with it's beautiful Serpent Garden's Water sculptures.
Lose yourself in the mysterious Chinese Bamboo Labyrinth, explore the perils of The Poison Garden - full of intoxicating and narcotic plants that can only be entered with a guide (run at multiple intervals each day)or gaze upon the Grand Cascade.
Transformed across seasons, no two days in The Garden are ever the same. The Gardens history is still honoured through the traditional Ornamental Garden and mesmerising Rose Garden - home to 300 highly scented Roses.
Created by The Duchess of Northumberland in 2001, The Alnwick Garden is a garden with a purpose and is a registered charity (No.1095435) that places people at the forefront of all of its activities.
