The Gardens
Spellbinding Views
Described by the Daily Mail as one of the most magnificent English gardens in Northumberland.,
The gardens are designed to be experienced throughout the year. In winter, frost creates quiet silhouettes and a sense of peace and enchantment. As spring arrives, snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths bring the first colour, followed by vibrant Ranunculus in mid-spring. Summer sees the gardens in full bloom, with roses, dahlias and many other flowers filling the borders and providing blooms for cutting.
The Hall is surrounded by three gardens that wrap around the house, while the Cottage has its own charming private garden. At the heart of the estate lies the walled garden, structured into a series of rooms through topiary hedges, with an Italian-style pond, a Laburnum arch walk way, vegetable beds, fruit trees and a dedicated cutting garden. Beyond the walls, the garden opens onto a wild meadow.
Woodland walks wind through the estate, offering beautiful routes to explore the landscape and foothills. Seven listed features, including a historic dog kennel and dovecote, add further character and a sense of history to the grounds.
