Newby Hall is one of Britain's finest Adam Houses.

Built in the 1690s by Sir Christopher Wren, the 17th century award-winning house and famous gardens, was enlarged and adapted by John Carr and Robert Adam.

Still in private ownership, Newby Hall is the home of the Compton family.

The Hall and Gardens won a prestigious gold medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025, its first ever at the world’s most famous horticultural event.

A woodland-themed display highlighted some of the most eye-catching and unusual varieties of Cornus, a nod to Newby Hall’s renowned National Plant Collection of Cornus.

Its 25 acre gardens include a newly restored Edwardian rock garden, one of the largest and most significant in the UK, one of Europe’s largest double herbaceous borders, an enchanted woodland walk, a miniature railway and a children’s adventure playground as well as dolls house and teddy bear exhibitions.

Newby Hall and Gardens was Yorkshire Attraction of the Year 2022 and National Garden of the Year 2019.

It is also internationally celebrated for having one of the largest and most complete surviving Chippendale interiors.

Tickets include entry to Newby Hall’s gardens and adventure playground.

Visitors wishing to tour the house can upgrade their ticket once inside.
