Our 'fab five', as we like to call them, are (clockwise from top left of the picture)...
- Fountains Abbey: a World Heritage site, a visit to Fountains is a must. The 12th century abbey ruins are fantastic to explore and are set it tranquil countryside.
- Beningbrough Hall: a grand Georgian mansion in lush parkland and gardens, linked with the National Portrait Gallery, which houses an impressive collection of artwork. Beningbrough is also famed for some very proud peacocks who explore the grounds!
- Nunnington Hall: this former family home by the River Rye has many marvels to enjoy, including photographic exhibitions, miniature doll rooms and a pretty walled garden.
- Treasurer's House: nestled behind York Minster, we're really easy to get to and an unexpected surprise when you do. We've had churchmen, industrialists, writers, astronomers, lawyers, royalty and even ghosts visit us - we hope you'll come along too!
- Rievaulx Terrace: this 18th century garden is the perfect place to relax. Take a book to enjoy, a picnic with the family, or your camera to capture some amazing views of the Rievaulx Abbey ruins.
