A hidden gem: Exporing Seaton Delaval Hall

#newcastletrip Nestled just outside Newcastle, Seaton Delaval Hall is an underrated historic treasure that blends Baroque architecture, rich history, and picturesque gardens. A short 30-minute drive or bus ride from Newcastle city center, this stunning National Trust property offers a perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Designed by the renowned architect Sir John Vanbrugh, the hall is an 18th-century masterpiece with a striking façade and grand entrance. Walking through its partially ruined yet magnificent interior, I was captivated by the blend of decayed grandeur and preserved elegance. The central hall, with its high ceilings and intricate stonework, stands as a testament to the wealth and artistic vision of the Delaval family.
