Scampston Hall & Walled Gardens

Scampston Hall – Stunning Walled Garden and Grounds, the beautiful contemporary garden, the gardens only became open to the public for the first time in 2004, people visit from all over the world and it has been received with great acclaim. In 2006 The House and Garden were featured in the television series 'Hidden Treasure Houses' on Five. Open for a short period during the late spring, and sitting in its own, more traditional gardens, the Hall is one of the finest country houses in Yorkshire. Lovingly restored by the Legards, it is a family home and contains many fine works of art, furniture and china.

The Cascade Circuit Walk provides visitors with the opportunity to visit the traditional gardens around the house including the Rock Garden, the Woodland Garden and the 'Capability' Brown lakes and park. The cost for the Walled Garden is £5 for adults £2.50 for children aged 12 – 16, under 12 – free and the Grounds and Cascade Circuit Walk is £3 for adults £1.50 for children 12 – 16 – under 12s free. There are plenty of wide open spaces for the letting the children have a good run about, however I do think that their indoor activities are something special, particularly as we are in the midst of Lambing and sheep and all things associated are very close to mind at the moment!

Why not treat yourself to a few days away, here at Valley View Farm Cottages, as we are just 27 miles away from Scampston Hall.
