Take a stroll in the labyrinthine ‘grand gardens in miniature’ now restored to their Victorian heyday. Enjoy the garden vistas and discover enchanting features like the pleasure grounds with their fountain centrepiece or the classical summerhouse or the fern dell and pet cemetery.
With snowdrops and winter evergreens, spring tulips and laburnum and summer roses and autumnal leaves, the gardens are open year-round with an ever-changing colour palette.
Did you buy some honey?
I would love to have some honey on my crumpets.
No, not a golden syrup fan.
No not from here. But I always buy honey from Chain brige honey farm when I visit Northumberland.
Looks beautiful, but thinking of the cost and effort of maintaining gardens like that is mind boggling.
It is an English Heritage garden and it has been recently restored to how it would have looked in its day.
EH? I actually prefer them to NT, don’t know why.
Maybe it’s because they have more “free” sites?
On the whole I enjoy visiting EH more these days. I think it is because they present the history well.
