I was coming back down south from a wedding and had a few hours to spare. I saw the sign for Newby Hall and decided to stop off. It is not cheap at £13.20 for both the house and gardens but I was in for a surprise. I got there just in time for the first tour of the day... More

We have visited Newby Hall approximately 5 times in the last 3 years and enjoyed every visit. It is over an hour away from where we live, otherwise we would go more often.

Newby Hall is lovely. It has stunning gardens, a beautiful house. Great woodland walks. The children's adventure playground is probably it's best feature, with paddle boats, miniature railway, swing boats and lots lots more. The cafe is pricey but you cannot fault the quality of the food. Brilliant place More

Attractive gardens and an interesting house. Plenty for the kids if you have them and a pretty good cafe. The garden centre is expensive though. More
