Bide-A-Wee Cottage Gardens and Nursery

Brief attraction description

A very special garden in Northumberland

More details (if available)

"A very special garden... a highlight of many visitor's itinerary in Northumberland". These are the words of Kathryn Bradley-Hole, of Gardeners World Magazine, and they perfectly sum up the attractions of Bide-A-Wee Cottage Garden.

Set in the Northumberland countryside the garden is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life for just an hour or two. Enjoy the peace and solitude while taking in the views of the garden and the surrounding countryside from the many seated vantage points.

In May enjoy the splendour of a natural meadow in all its glory. Spot the many types of wild flowers - including yellow rattle buttercups, harebells and fine grasses - growing as nature intended. Or simply just watch the bees from the Bide-A-Wee hives do their work.

The Bide-A-Wee Garden has been created out of a small sandstone quarry over the last quarter of a century by Mark Robson. The site was originally bare and exposed apart from rough grass, whin (gorse) and an outer drystone boundary wall. So it has taken years of imagination, planning, development and nurturing to transform this former quarry into a garden gem.
