Alnwick Garden

This is the web site of the ambitious and magnificent garden created by the Duchess of Northumberland. Started in 1996, the aim was to restore the great Victorian garden of Alnwick Castle and create an even greater one and this goal has been achieved. Visitors are flocking there to admire the fascinating plants, water sculptures, the infamous Poison Garden and one of the world's largest wooden tree houses, 364 days a year. The Grand Cascade has also been opened and once you have seen round this great project you can repair to the Castle.

The web site is simple and straightforward. There are some lovely sound effects of water. For details of visiting times, how the project got started, becoming a friend of the garden etc scroll down the left margin.
