Currently under construction and opening Spring 2007 is the stunning Japanese-style garden, which will be an impressive 100 square meters in size on two levels with a pond and waterfall and and a gravel garden.
You can take some inspiration home with you too, as there are home-grown plants, shrubs and seasonal hanging baskets for sale.

The hall we see today was designed by John Carr of York, for Thomas Clifton, and built 1757-1764.
Carr constructed the house of brick, with stone dressings. The contrast of the two colours is one of its main charms. The brickwork is Flemish bond (stretcher, header, stretcher). The roof, which is not concealed by a parapet and has a very shallow slope, is of a type that Carr used again and again.
