I’ve posted photos of our visit to Alnwick Castle in Northumberland before. Adjacent to the Castle is Alnwick Garden, a formal garden with a cascading fountain. Also in the Garden there is a fantastic Treehouse and a Poison Garden, safely secured behind locked gates. When we were there there a very long queue to go into the Poison Garden, so we left that for another day and went to Treehouse.
It’s an enormous structure made from sustainably sourced cedar, redwood and pine, extending high up into the trees.
There are wobbly walkways:
and a restaurant:

I love the idea of a grown-up treehouse. Here’s Mine
Wonderful treehouse! It is rather huge for a treehouse, but what fun to explore. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Love the treehouse… like a fairy tale. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/ZoRZX
Oh wow! How cool is that? I can’t even begin to imagine the logistics of building such a place.
Oh what a great place to visit!!
Wow….I love this place.
THANKS.

Oh, that looks magical. I’d love to visit both the Treehouse and the intriguing Poison Garden…. hope you got back to visit it (and take photos…)
Oh my gosh I love this so much… I want to live there… me and my books
Beautiful pictures! Looks like a cool place! Here’s my Saturday Snapshot post!
That looks like it would be a very fun place to visit!
Oh, that looks fabulous!
Ah, wobbly walkways in treehouses are the best!
Looks lovely.
What a wonderful place to visit.
Margaret – Oh, that’s gorgeous! I’ll bet it was fun to explore it too.
What fun this would be! Maybe I’ll get to see this someday and the poison garden! What fun that would be for a mystery fan!
The tree house is fantastic. I’ve been to Alnwick but not to the castle, don’t know how I mssed it, too busy at the bookshop maybe.
Love the treehouse, but I would really want to check out the poison garden! Thanks for sharing.
