The Alnwick Garden, Alnwick

Beautiful gardens in the grounds of Alnwick Castle. Everything is perfectly presented and there are a variety of interesting water features. The poison garden was interesting but slightly underwhelming. Our guide was a little monotone which probably didn't help but we thought we would get a bit more information. All in all a trip worth taking and I would be happy to visit again.

Great place for all the family. Can get very crowded but we always found a chair to sit down in the shade and admire the flowers. The fountains are fabulous. Food was fresh. We just had sandwiches and they were fine. Be sure to have an ice-cream. The lemon was to die for. All in all a great day out and value for money

Staff were exceptional! They did everything they could to be of help. What a great experience. The Garden was it's usual perfection with signs of hedge trimming having taken place and would do so for another few days. I love the Garden and the Pavilion. Thank you for making it possible for me to attend.

Wonderful place for a family day out. You can have a great day out where children can run around and interact with different sculptures in the garden. When I was there it was a lord of the rings theme day with people walking around the grounds in character. Children enjoying having their pictures taken. Diggers kept younger children happy moving gravel and water at base of the water feature. There are some gardens that will interest the dedicated gardener but don't expect to much. While the children enjoy themselves you can also feel good about the money you spend as the gardens are a trust and put money into lots of local charities as well as do a lot themselves for both the young and the old. Prices quite reasonable for where you are going. £3 TO park in the car park for the day. Tickets allow you access for the whole day of purchase so need to leave and come back no bother. Looks like very good Christmas activities are planned for children and some for adults too.

A fantastic experience was last there when I was much younger brought back many happy memories. The place oozes history Very pleasant helpful staff. I am disabled and they couldn't do enough for me. A very worthwhile visit.
