The Gertrude Jekyll Garden and Lindisfarne Castle, Holy Island, Northumberland, England, UK


A modestly sized walled garden, located just north of Lindisfarne Castle, was designed by Gertrude Jekyll - a renowned Arts and Crafts garden designer, writer and artist. The garden was established in 1911 on the site of a vegetable patch, which once provided food for the soldiers of the Castle. Jekyll's friend Edwin Lutyens was remodelling the castle as a holiday home for Edward Hudson at that time, and planned out the geometric paving layout to make the garden seem larger. The original planting scheme by Gertrude Jekyll was restored by the National Trust in 2003.
