Alnwick Garden is a complex of formal gardens adjacent to Alnwick Castle. The gardens have a long history under the dukes of Northumberland, but fell into disrepair until revived at the turn of the 21st century. The garden now features various themed plantings designed around a central water cascade.  It is the most ambitious new garden created in the United Kingdom since the Second World War. At the top of the Central Cascade is a parterre garden with elements such as the one shown here.
