A Grade I-listed country house in Northumberland will open its gardens to the public this month.

The Bywell Castle Garden Open Day will allow people to wander around 'fabulous gardens with a riverside setting', featuring homemade cakes, ice cream, and pizza and paella from The Feathers Inn, served in the castle ruins.

Bywell Castle, a listed building and scheduled ancient monument, is the seat of the Viscounts Allendale.

Lord and Lady Allendale will open their garden in aid of Stocksfield Community Association (SICA), with live music, a prize tombola, a bottle tombola, and a children's dog show.

North Acomb Farm, Gin and Tonia, and the Tyne Valley Tap Room will also attend the event, which will take place from 12pm to 6pm on Sunday, June 21.

Entry costs £5 and under-12s go free, with all proceeds to SICA.

Parking will be available, along with disabled access, and dogs on leads are welcome.
