Alnwick Garden

In the English town of Alnwick, Northumberland, Alnwick Garden is a collection of formal gardens that are located next to Alnwick Castle. The gardens have a lengthy history dating back to the Northumberland dukes, but they fell into ruin before being restored at the beginning of the 21st century.

Now, the garden has a variety of themed plantings arranged around the main water cascade. The Duchess of Northumberland and other garden professionals engaged in a number of public disagreements about preservation and the use of tax dollars as a result of the gardens' recovery. Despite the 42-acre site being a gift from the 12th Duke of Northumberland and his £9 million contributions to the redevelopment expenditures, the garden currently belongs to a charitable trust that is independent of Northumberland Estates.

With over 4,000 plant species to explore, thousands of seasonal flowers and many opportunities to get wet and play in The Garden's water sculptures, The Garden is a place made to be appreciated with all of your senses. There is a lot to surprise and amaze visitors with, from the serenity of the Serpent Garden's water sculptures to the exhilaration of the Grand Cascade, the mysteries of the Bamboo Labyrinth, and one of the largest tree houses in the world.
