Druridge Bay Country Park

A large, sweeping sand and shingle bay backed by sand dunes where it is always possible to find your own private spot along the beach and dunes. The northern half of the bay is part of Druridge Bay Country Park, where there is a large water sports lake.

Wallington Hall

Original formality underlies the ‘natural’ landscape in which walks offer a variety of lawns, shrubberies, lakes and woodland enlivened with buildings, sculpture and water features. In a sheltered valley beyond the China Pond is the beautiful walled garden with its collection of plants, and the abundant conservatory.

Cragside Country House and Gardens

No wonder it was described as ‘the Palace of a Modern Magician’. Around and below the house is one of Europe’s largest rock gardens; across the valley lies the terraced garden. Here exotic fruits were nurtured throughout the year in glasshouses, and still are today in the Orchard House. Seven million trees and bushes were planted to cover the bare hillside and create the 404ha (1000-acre) forest garden you can explore today.
