The Column of Liberty is the first sight of this impressive landscape garden created by the Bowes family in the 18th century.
Spanning 160 hectares, Gibside is a 'grand design' of spectacular vistas, winding paths and grassy open spaces. At key points stand decorative garden buildings, such as the Palladian Chapel and Georgian stables.
Much of Gibside is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. See website for events and facilities.
