In the land of the mythical lore of dragons, wizard and phantoms, and a history rich of immortalized monarchs and endless wars lies a small garden with an enchantingly wicked twist.

The Poison Garden at Alnwick Castle is one of the most popular tourist destinations in England for those who love to take a walk on the dangerous side. Inside this beautifully landscaped garden, hosts a collection of over 100 very beautiful and yet incredibly toxic plants, most being killers. Don’t touch or sniff signs fill this garden as a reminder to all of those who take a stroll, that even the simplest of plants can be the deadliest.

“Visitors are strictly prohibited from smelling, touching, or tasting any plants, although some people still occasionally faint from inhaling toxic fumes while walking in the garden.”- From Alnwick Castle
