This video explores the deadly history behind the Duchess of Northumberland’s famous poison garden at Alnwick Castle, often called the world’s most toxic garden. Moving through its locked gates and carefully controlled plots, we trace how these poisonous plants connect to real stories of murder, medicine, witchcraft, and royal intrigue, from medieval Europe to the Victorian era. Each plant becomes a doorway into darker chapters of European history, where beauty, danger, and power were often bound together.
Combining historical research with on-site footage, this documentary looks at how the modern duchess revived a long tradition of lethal botany, turning a quiet corner of an English castle into a living archive of human fascination with toxic plants. Along the way, we uncover how deadly herbs shaped criminal trials, apothecary practices, and political plots, revealing a past in which knowledge of poisons could mean survival—or death.
