Discover a historic estate set in the Northumberland countryside, with beautiful gardens, woodland walks, family adventures and plenty of space to explore.

Set within the countryside of Northumberland, Wallington House, Gardens & Estate is a spacious and varied day out with plenty to explore both indoors and out.

At the heart of the estate is Wallington Hall, once home to the Trevelyan family. Inside, you’ll find rooms full of character, from impressive artwork that tells the story of Northumberland to collections of books, ceramics and quirky curiosities that give a real sense of life here over the years. You can take your time wandering through the house or pause in quieter spaces like the reading room.

Outside, there’s just as much to discover. The estate opens out into woodlands, parkland and lakes, with plenty of walking routes to explore at your own pace. The walled garden is a highlight throughout the year, with colourful planting, hidden pathways and plenty of wildlife to spot along the way.

There’s also plenty here for families. With several outdoor play areas, including an adventure playground, zip line and smaller spaces for younger children, it’s easy to spend time letting off steam. If you’re feeling more active, the Dragon cycle trail offers family-friendly routes through the estate, with options for both shorter and slightly longer rides.

When it’s time for a break, you can stop by the café for something to eat or drink, or browse the shops for local products, gifts and plants.
