The castle of Alnwick is not the only interesting attraction in the area: the Poison Garden (Jardin du Poison) and its plants could kill you!
A Alnwick , in Northumberland County, North England , we find beautiful gardens with beautiful flowers that smell good, fountains where it is pleasant to stroll and sit to immerse yourself in calm and peaceful places. But it can be a little boring in the long... especially as the Alnwick Castle , which served as a decor at the school of Poudlard in Harry Potter, is right next door, and attracts much more crowds. What could you do here then? Visit the poisoned garden of Alnwick Of course!

Located in the middle of the lush gardens of Alnwick is the Poison Garden , which houses all kinds of deadly plants. But why did you make a poisoned garden? In response, one might ask another question: why only highlight the healing powers of plants when one can also remind people of their mortal abilities?

The garden, which opened in 2005, offers a variety of killer plants such as digital , belladones and poppy plants (we will not mention the most common plants such as cannabis and hallucinogenic mushrooms, which do not kill, of course...).

There is a large black gate with a warning on the dangers of the garden ( these plants can kill ). Needless to speak English to understand... Some plants are even caged to prevent people from touching them. The site is filmed day and night to prevent theft of these dangerous plants.

Don’t forget to visit the Alnwick Castle located right next to the gardens of the same name.
