Holiday in Northumberland  2-6 June 2022

 

 

For this 5-day holiday we will be staying for 4 nights half board at the Holiday Inn, Gosforth Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne

 

The visits will include:

Visit to RHS Bridgwater on our way to Newcastle.

Visit to Alnwick Garden (including guided tour of the poison garden)

Visit to Cragside (also National Trust property, so only free to NT members)

You may have seen a recent programme ‘Gardens from above’ featuring Christine Walkden viewing Cragside from a hot air balloon.  She was very impressed, not only seeing it from the air but walking round and talking to the gardeners there. Sir William Armstrong who had the house constructed was a 19^th century pioneer who built a very impressive mansion as well as a huge rockery near the house, and the grounds are very extensive.  We can be sure of a good visit here.

 

Guided tour of Durham cathedral and river cruise

Visit to Whalton Manor gardens and Wallington Hall

Visit to RHS Harlow Carr gardens on our return on the final day.

 

Price per person (sharing twin/double room) based on minimum 30 paying persons in the region of £430.00. Deposit payable in advance in the region of £50.00.

Single room supplement – in the region of £76.00 This is only a provisional estimate until the brochure is published and the tour finalised.

 

More details and a final price will follow later, and it is hoped that the brochure and booking form will be out for the November meeting.
