Sunday 8th July
Wallington Hall near Morpeth still feels like a family house and was such until 2011.

The China Pond is one of several within the beautiful woodland which was created in the mid 1700s.

The walled garden was one of the best we have seen anywhere.

The conservatory was full of spectacular plants.

Just outside was this stunning and colourful border which shimmered in the sunshine.

There were several smaller gardens backed by the distant views of the fields and hills.
