In the care of the National Trust, Gibside is a remarkable survival of bygone days, an 18th century park and pleasure ground. Only three miles from the Metro Centre shopping and leisure complex, Gibside is one of the North's most important landscaped areas, combining beautiful woodland, riverside walks, and historic buildings. You can explore Gibside Hall, the Column of Liberty, the banqueting house and the beautifully serene Palladian chapel. Walking the grounds, visitors will also enjoy the walled garden, octagon pond and the orangery. It's a welcome tranquil stop for those seeking an alternative to the bustle of city life. Occasional classical music concerts and theatrical events are staged in spring and summer. There is also a tea shop and a National Trust shop. Dogs on leads are welcome in the grounds only. Wheelchair access is possible but difficult. A braille guide is available.
