Alnwick Garden is situated on the estate of the Duke of Northumberland
and was set up by his wife, Jane, The Duchess of Northumberland. The
garden (on a 12 acre site) was opened by Prince Charles in 2002 and
has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in North East
England. The garden appeals to a wide audience, from the proffessional
gardener, down to people who just garden as a relaxing past time. The
garden has excellent access for the disabled, which I think is great.
It has the advantage of being built recently, so such considerations
could be taken into account into the plans.

Just the other day I was talking to someone who works for us and who comes
from that area. She recommended a visit very highly. She said that the
planting probably wouldn't hold many surprises for a very knowledgeable
plants person but that the design and general thought behind the garden are
absolutely brilliant and well worth a look.
