Wallington Hall
|
|
A 17th century Palladian mansion, the home of the Trevelyan and Blackett families. The exterior is restrained, but not so the interior, which is a splendid example of ebullient rococo plastering. The house stands in extensive landscape gardens, designed by Sir Walter Blackett in the style of Capability Brown.
Garden: Naturalistic landscaped gardens in the style of 'Capability' Brown complement the Northumberland moorland setting. Lots of room to stretch your legs along lawns, lakes and woodlands; or sit on a quiet bench in the enchanting walled garden and enjoy the blooms.
