When it comes to unforgettable days out in Northumberland, Alnwick Gardens offers something truly unique. From grand water displays to hidden rose gardens and the world’s largest treehouse restaurant, it’s an experience that blends natural beauty with imagination and charm.

At Hemera Holidays, we know that the best Northumberland getaways combine peaceful places to stay with inspiring things to do. That’s why so many of our guests choose holiday cottages and lodges near Alnwick – giving them easy access to the gardens, castle, coast and countryside, all in one trip.

A Garden Like No Other

Set within walking distance of Alnwick town centre, Alnwick Gardens is one of the most iconic visitor attractions in Northumberland. It’s not just a place for flower lovers – it’s a place for families, foodies, and curious minds of all ages.

Wander through beautifully landscaped spaces including the Ornamental Garden, Cherry Orchard and Rose Garden, or explore the dramatic Grand Cascade, where jets of water dance every few minutes. Younger visitors will love the Serpent Garden, home to interactive water features that encourage play, splashing, and smiles.

Want something more unusual? Book a guided tour of the Poison Garden, where the gates are locked for good reason – it’s filled with deadly and fascinating plants from around the world. It’s one of the only gardens of its kind in the UK.

Treehouse Dining and Seasonal Events
