This is Wallington Hall taken on a dull overcast day when I was, for one season, a National Trust member.
Wallington is a country house and gardens located about 12 miles west of Morpeth, Northumberland near the village of Cambo. It has been owned by the National Trust since 1942, after it was donated complete with the estate and farms by Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan, the first donation of its kind. It is a Grade I listed building.
The current house was built between 1735-1745 by the architect Daniel Garret in the Palladian style, it is set in 100 acres of rolling parkland, which includes a wooded valley, ornamental lakes, lawns, and a recently refurbished walled garden.

In past years, below average rainfall has often been the reason given for leaves beginning to fall before August is out.
This year, the lack of precipitation has been breaking records in many areas of the UK, particularly England and Wales.
That said, these woods on the National Trust's Wallington Hall Estate in Northumberland were still looking quite lush this afternoon in the August sunshine (and occasional showers).
Of the rain that did fall, not much seemed to be reaching the ground due to the leaf canopy, which is just as well as I hadn't ventured out expecting to get wet!

Some impressively huge trees to be found in the East Garden – it would be interesting to know how old they are!

In the 'Secret Garden' at Wallington Hall, Northumberland, this afternoon.
This annual display of around 100,000 crocuses covers some 3,500 square metres in this popular National Trust property's gardens.
They were planted just a few years back across a two-week period by some 20 volunteers.
It really is a breath-taking feast for the eyes!
The grounds of Wallington Hall were partly laid out by Capability Brown. The lawn outside the house contains four curious stone gargoyle or griffin heads. They originate from Bishopsgate, one of the city gates in London. It is thought they were brought north as ballast in one of Sir Wiliam Blackett’s ships which worked between London and Newcastle.
An Easter Sunday afternoon spent wandering around the gardens at Wallington Hall in Northumberland.
A number of mature trees were brought down during the two severe storms that swept the UK towards the end of 2021.
Surprised today to see that some of trees laid low have been imaginatively used as a woodcarver's canvas.

Since a visit to Wallington Hall in Northumberland over the Easter weekend, I thought I'd captured all of Tommy Craggs' chainsaw sculptures, but I understand there are more!
I've photographed his fabulous larger-than-life owl (which I'll post in due course, but I've learned there is another sculpture, which I missed. Another visit is on the cards!
