Alnwick Garden - Treehouse
This place is loved by 1 members
$$$
The Alnwick Gardens are a joy to behold. A decade into a vast project by the Duchess of Northumberland they are a must see - incredibly planting, water features, sculpture and lots of places to contemplate. I defy anyone not to find an area that they would not like to copy in some way in their own garden albeit on a mini scale. The Rose and Poison Garden are my favourites, plus the bamboo maze. But if you only have time to visit one place here it has to be the Treehouse. Treehouses do not come much bigger than this, a feat of engineering, its almost like entering a different bird high world perched in the ancient trees. Choose from the cafe or restaurant, both serve totally delicious local and seasonal Northumbrian fayre. There are wobbly bridges, a look out tower and the Roost - a round room with a vast tree in the middle. Go and look i do not think you will be disappointed. Book in the restaurant.
