Visiting The Alnwick Garden and Treehouse

Sitting very close to the world famous Alnwick Castle, The Alnwick Garden is one of the world’s most ambitious new gardens. The Duchess of Northumberland’s vision for a forgotten plot is now a truly 21st century experience full of imagination, inspiration and fun. Designed by Jacques and Peter Wirtz, The Garden is a wonderful combination of spaces, themes, quirkiness and play.
The Garden is a space designed to be enjoyed by all your senses, with a collection of over 4,000 plant varieties to discover, thousands of seasonal blooms and countless opportunities to get wet and play in The Garden’s water sculptures.
You can take lunch at one of the largest wooden treehouses in the world, nestled 18 meters above the ground.
The Garden will soon start work (in 2020) of The Lilidorei Play Village - set to feature 'the world's largest play structure'

The Poison garden hosts many different poisonous plants some of which can quite easily kill you and others which are illegal to grow. Just remember not to sniff anything or touch anything while your guided round there, or you could end up as another "statistic"!
Did you know the leaves of rhubarb plants contain Oxalic Acid, the same chemical used in paint stripper... thats why we DONT eat the leaves, they are poisonous! Many plants in the Poison garden can be found in the Countryside so take care what your touching or even eating!
