The weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed having a look around at the beautiful gardens full to the brim with gorgeous flowers in bloom.
I'm not sure if it is permitted! but we took our own food along and had a little picnic on the grass with some ciders in the sunshine, which was probably my favourite part. I also loved the different fountains, and the area on a hill full of cute wooden swings. Definitely a perfect day date location, and if you fancy a nice meal head to the Treehouse Restaurant which is the cutest place ever. In fact, just go there for a look around, grab a coffee from the cafe and explore across the rickety bridges.
As I'm a student I paid concession price which was £9.93 including a donation to Gift Aid which I think is great for a day out.
We also visited Alnwick Castle but sadly didn't go in as we're poor peasant souls. Another time ey!
I'd highly recommend heading up to Alnwick for a day out that's not too much of a trek from the Newcastle area. For more information head to alnwickgarden.com :)
