Today we visited Cragside House gardens, owned by the National Trust, near Rothbury in Northumberland.  I love the Formal Garden and after the wonderful display of tulips there last Spring, I thought that a visit in early September might be a bit of an anticlimax.  However the garden was as beautiful as ever.  The dahlias were amazing.

There were some new glass fish sculptures in the pond which glistened in the sunlight.

Yet again, I’d a wonderful day out at Cragside. You can see all my Flickr photos here. If you’re in Northumberland, I recommend that you visit this lovely English garden.  There are several hotels and bed and breakfasts in the Rothbury area.
