About This Event

Bewick is perhaps Northumberland’s greatest artist: a wood engraver and naturalist who revolutionised print art in Georgian England. Set in a tranquil, accessible garden with views across the Tyne Valley, Cherryburn is surrounded by the natural world that inspired his work. Discover his birthplace cottage and farmyard with glorious views over the Tyne Valley, plus a traditional 19th century farmhouse - the later home of the Bewick family, now a museum - with an unrivalled collection of his work and an exhibition about his life. Explore our newly renovated garden, now more accessible for wildlife and people, including the provision of more seating, and new wheelchair-friendly and pushchair-friendly paths. Picnic on the lawn and relax in surroundings barely changed since Bewick himself was there. On Friday 11th September, attend a talk by our archaeologist Chris - at 11am and again at 2pm to discover more about Cherryburn through time, including a recent dig to uncover a lost extension to the cottage.
