Win a luxury, two-night stay at Lumley Castle with garden visit in County Durham*
In celebration of late spring, Gardens Illustrated is offering readers the chance to win a luxury two-night stay at historic Lumley Castle. The four-star hotel is ideally located in beautiful parklands overlooking the River Wear in County Durham and offers the opportunity to discover the area’s history and garden highlights.
Also included are tickets to Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens, near Durham with its 30 acres of beautiful parkland, gardens and woodland and its historic house and chapels, founded more than 200 years ago by Roman Catholic refugees from northern France.
Lumley Castle is a magnificent monument to a bygone age of chivalry and honour, effortlessly combining old and new to create a truly unique and memorable travel experience.
The castle, which became a hotel in 1976, dates back to the 14th century, when it was converted from a manor house by Sir Ralph Lumley and it is still owned by Sir Ralph’s descendants, with the 13th Earl of Scarborough involved in its day-to-day running.
All the beautifully appointed rooms are uniquely decorated, perfect for a relaxed getaway in a beautiful historic setting and provide all the refinements you’ve come to expect in a modern hotel room. lumleycastle.com; ushaw.org
