These lovely gardens at Howick Hall are situated only 2 miles from the Northumberland coast, but the slightly milder climate has protected many of the tender plants which grow there.

There are paths leading through rhododendrons and azaleas and there are many more shrubs as well as fine trees.
There are fine borders and lawns, a large pond with a good collection of moisture loving plants.
In the Spring there are lovely displays of daffodils in the parkland.
Howick Hall is well worth a visit.
