Burnby Hall Gardens
Described as ‘a jewel in Yorkshire’s crown’, Burnby Hall Gardens are situated at the centre of Pocklington.
The upper and lower lakes are set within nine acres of woodland and gardens. The gardens hold a National Collection of around 80 varieties of hardy water lily.
Spectacular rock garden designed by Backhouses of York.
At the far end of the garden is a stumpery. Made popular during the Victorian period, the stumpery is created using upturned tree stumps and logs and is planted with ferns and other shade-loving plants.
Also look out for an ornamental bridge, a contemporary walled garden and an aviary garden.
The Secret Garden was designed by students from the nearby Bishop Burton College.
The gardens have won the Yorkshire in Bloom Gold Award.
RHS Members visit for free from 5th January – 31st March.
