The Alnwick Garden in April 2009


The Alnwick Garden lies to the outskirts of Alnwick Town and adjoining Alnwick Castle. Created about 10 years ago the gardens are still in continual development and are open all year.

At the entrance is the Tree House (a restaurant).


Entry to the gardens is via a cafe pavillion.


The water cascade and fountains form the focal features.








Towards the top is the entrance to the Ornamental Gardens.

    I do like Alnwick Gardens. The black and white photos are very effective.

    impressive site! lovely photos. the black & white photos highlight the architectural aspects nicely. how do the gardeners trim up the tops without crushing the ground level plantings in the 13th photo? the veranda space looks so airy & light compared to the front of the tree-house! what a contrast.

    That tree house is such a waste where it is. It would be much better at the bottom of my garden!!!!!
    Nice photos Helen.
