    The Column of Liberty, rising above the treetops, is the first sight visitors have of this impressive landscape garden created by the Bowes family in the 18th century. Spanning 182 hectares (450 acres), Gibside is a 'grand design' of spectacular vistas, winding paths and grassy open spaces. At key points there are decorative garden buildings, including the Palladian chapel, Georgian stables, greenhouse and ruins of a bathhouse and hall. There is a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere, and visitors will feel close to nature. Much is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and wildlife, such as red kites, can be seen
