Season Tickets Available NOW for the 2008 Season!
Newby Hall, the family home of Mr & Mrs Richard Compton, is one of England's
renowned Adam houses, an exceptional example of 18th century interior decoration,
recently restored to its original beauty.
Built under the guidance of Sir Christopher Wren in 17 Century, the superb contents
of the house, collected by William Weddell, ancestor of the Compton family, include
the Gobelins Tapestry Room, a renowned gallery of classical statuary and some
of Chippendale's finest furniture.
Award Winning Gardens
25 acres of award-winning Gardens are full of rare and beautiful plants. Newby's
magnificent double herbaceous borders form the main axis; off this central walk
are formal compartmented gardens such as Sylvia's Garden, a species Rose Garden,
Water Garden and even a Tropical Garden - truly "A Garden for All Seasons". The
National Collection of CORNUS is also held at Newby.
A perfect day for all the family
Newby's exciting Adventure Garden for Children has been thoughtfully and safely
designed for children of all ages - from the paddling pool, sandpit and swings
for toddlers through to climbing frames and bridges, an aerial slide and pedalo
boats for the older children. And of course, Newby's famous Miniature Railway
is for children and adults alike! Other attractions include the Sculpture Park,
Woodland Discovery Walk, Shop and Plant Centre, Licensed Garden Restaurant and
Picnic Area.
