The Treehouse, Restaurant in wooden structure at Alnwick Garden, United Kingdom
The Treehouse is a restaurant built from wood and nestled among trees, with multiple levels connected by suspended walkways that create distinct dining zones. The structure rises above ground with a central fireplace as a focal point, and natural light filters through gaps in the timber construction.
The restaurant opened in 2005 as part of the gardens at Alnwick. It was built using timber sourced from sustainable forests across North America and Northern Europe, reflecting early commitments to responsible building practices.
Local performers entertain guests regularly while they dine beneath twinkling lights scattered throughout the space. The setting encourages people to linger and experience the warmth of a gathering place that feels both refined and welcoming.
Most of the structure can be accessed without stairs, thanks to sloped walkways and ramps throughout the levels. Visitors with reduced mobility should ask staff about the best routes to different dining areas when they arrive.
The bar offers five house cocktails, each named after the Duchess of Northumberland who commissioned the gardens. These drinks were created specifically for the restaurant and cannot be found elsewhere.
