North East England is home to some of the UK’s most inspiring gardens
From grand, historic landscapes to contemporary horticultural attractions, the region’s gardens appeal to group and FIT visitors alike especially those with interests in heritage, design, or wellness. The North East is the birthplace of renowned Georgian gardener Capability Brown, whose stunning landscapes transformed the likes of Blenheim Palace, Stowe and Chatsworth as well as our very own Alnwick Castle, so you could say grand gardens are in our DNA!
A modern-day highlight is The Alnwick Garden, an award-winning attraction featuring beautifully themed spaces, interactive water sculptures, and the famous Poison Garden. With group-friendly facilities, events, and guided tours available, it’s a must-visit on any North East itinerary.
Many of the region’s gardens sit alongside stately homes, castles, or scenic walking routes, making them perfect additions to full-day cultural tours.
