Follow the mapped Ghost Trail through The Alnwick Garden on this 1.6 km (1-mile) circular route. It is graded easy on Walkmates, with an estimated walking time of one hour including stops around the garden.
A beautiful walk around The Alnwick Garden (paid entry).
There are plenty of Ghosts around this walk, so make sure you use our app for the walk.
The walk is excellent solo or as a part of a small group. There are countless walks around the garden, this is just a nice quick route through, taking in the maze and the walled garden, as well as (of course) the beautiful waterfalls and fountains.
Treat yourself to a coffee and a cake afterwards in the cafe, or go into town for a quick drink.
Read The Alnwick Garden's visitor FAQ before travelling for current tickets, opening and dog rules. Pet-dog admission is limited to designated Dog Days; assistance dogs are covered separately. Do not assume the garden admits pet dogs on every day.
A garden ticket does not include a visit inside Alnwick Castle. Check each attraction's admission separately if you plan to combine them.
For a walk outside the ticketed garden, compare the Alnwick Pastures route. The Alnwick walks guide compares town, estate and coastal outings.
