Plenty to do and see whatever your age, from feeding the animals on the farm to plenty of history and grounds. Worth walking around to go see the temple in the woods, the lake and ponds, the rose garden as well as the farm and everything nearer the house. Cafe has good range of food and the shop stocks a...

10 mins from city centre, and wow what a find. Only £3.70 for 40 rooms (exc gardens), council you could easily double this based on National trust properties and private homes ( please don't though!). Best value we found so far . More

i can't seem to stop visiting this superb house and grounds. it really is brilliant. recently i noticed on the website that they do 'hidden' Temple Newsam tours (ring to pre book) which take in areas not normally open to the public but at no extra cost except the hall entrance fee, and you can still look round the hall...

This is a great place for a day out. It was well signposted and easy to find. It is just off the motorway and not far from Leeds city centre. You can choose to visit the house, farm or even just the grounds. The grounds are a large area and seemed very popular with all age rages for a nice... More
