Alnwick Castle and Gardens
The Alnwick Garden, the most exciting, contemporary garden to be created in the 100 years.
The site on which The Alnwick Garden is built has had a colourful history, with gardens being built here designed by leading contemporary designers of their day. How fitting that
The Alnwick Garden should have been classed by many as one of the finest public gardens to have been built in over 100 years.
Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited Castle in England, the first being Windsor Castle, and has been the home of the Percys, Earls and Dukes of Northumberland since 1309. The earliest mention of Alnwick Castle in the history books appears soon after 1096 when Yves de Vescy became baron of Alnwick and erected the earliest parts of the Castle.
Alnwick Castle has been a location for many major films, including Harry Potter, Robin Hood and Elizabeth.
