Newby Hall and Gardens

A late seventeenth century brick house and a mainly twentieth century garden (made after 1921) by Major Edward Compton. There is a statue walk, spectacular double herbaceous border, a curving Laburnam Pergola, Water Garden, Rose Garden and a Victorian Rock Garden amongst other compartmented gardens. The gardens are large and well-maintained - they won the Christie's/HHA Garden of the Year Award in 1987. Also held at Newby is a National Collection of Cornus. Only a partial avenue of lime trees survives from the 1697 layout.
