Discover his tiny birthplace cottage and farmyard with glorious views over the Tyne Valley, plus a traditional 19th-century farmhouse, the later home of the Bewick family, with an unrivalled collection of his work and an exhibition about his life.

Let’s talk about Sedge baby.

This Flea-sedge is so called because its fruits look like fleas which ‘jump off’ when touched.

Sedges play a vital role in global ecosystems, especially in wetlands. They are crucial for maintaining soil stability, filtering water and supporting wildlife by providing food and shelter.

There's something very special about doing the same garden work as a young Thomas Bewick around 270 years ago.

A wooden sign propped up against the gate of the Cherryburn allotment reads: In the garden, I was employed in weeding the beds of cabbages and carrots and in gathering peas for dinner. Thomas Bewick's memoir.

Did you know that our printing press needs a yearly MOT? When we close for winter, the Collections Team are busy looking after the objects in our care. For the printing presses, this includes checking the gears, applying oils, cleaning dust and debris, and ensuring everything is in perfect working order.

Be sure to check out the Print Room when we reopen on 14th May.
