The rain was lashing down as I drove to Alnwick. My 'other half ' wasn't well so I had decided to do the gardens alone. I was tempted to turn back, especially as it was the end of the growing season and I felt there wouldn't be much to see. I'm glad I carried on!
These cascades and fountains are magnificent---even in the drizzle!
I must mention the Poison Garden. (no photo,I'm afraid) We had to be locked in as every plant in there is poisonous, ranging from deadly nightshade to opium poppies.Our guide spun some wonderful tales. What a great experience!
