Cheeseburn Sculpture Gardens, Northumberland
-
Description
Today we visited Cheeseburn Sculpture Garden as part of our ambassador role for Great Northumberland (56 days of fantastic free events across the county). Cheeseburn is only open on selected weekends throughout the year and it feels like a real hidden gem. I can't believe it has taken me so long to visit! Entry is FREE but donations are very welcome (suggested £5 per adult). Cheeseburn is around 4/5 miles from Ponteland. Car parking is free and you'll be given a free map to use on arrival. The gardens feature over 30 abstract sculptures of various sizes which are all real talking points. We loved the evil red squirrels, the dementor graveyard (pretty sure this isn't it's proper name) and the retro TV. The gardens are toddler-friendly - My brother and 2-year-old nephew joined us and they managed the walk just fine. It maybe took around 45 minutes in total. There's a little tearoom serving homemade cakes (£2 each), salads and drinks plus what we've heard are legendary sausage rolls. Make sure you take some cash as cards aren't accepted. The next open dates for your diary are: Saturday 30 June, Sunday 1 July, Saturday 7 July, Sunday 8 July, Saturday 25 August, Sunday 26 August, Monday 27 August, Saturday 1 September and Sunday 2 September. We all really enjoyed it. We talked about the sculptures and what we thought they represented, enjoyed the beauty of the gardens and flowers (very much reminded me of Belsay Hall in parts) and the kids liked following the map and ticking the sculptures we'd spotted from our list. We are an award-winning blogging family of 5 based in Northumberland, UK.
