A must see when visiting Alnwick. The fountains provide a spectacular centrepiece & the range of flowers is impressive. Worthy surroundings for the magnificent castle. Congratulations to the Duchess who had the imagination and determination to see the project through.

All staff were friendly and helpful and the gardens just get better and better every time we visit. No roses... More

From the cleanliness of the toilets to the standard of acting required in some parts! The guides were so helpful and the Castle was very interesting... More
