A North East attraction has been dubbed one of the top places in the country to see blossoms burst into colour this spring.
Gibside is the only spot in the region named by the National Trust as among the best places across the UK to see the beautiful floral display. Situated between Rowlands Gill and Burnopfield just a few miles outside of Newcastle, the estate is one of the few surviving 18th-century designed landscapes and is a favourite for local families wanting to explore the great outdoors.
The Walled Garden at Gibside is full of fruit trees including cherry, apple and plum, which blossom in colours from delicate pink to vivid fuschia from March until late May. What's more, the venue is hosting a Festival of Blossom to celebrate the beautiful spring colours from April 24 until April 30 which will see the garden draped in bunting, ribbon and nature tapestries.
