Day 3 - Newby Hall, Harlow Carr Gardens

7/16/2013

0 Comments

 
Long day today.  First stop was Newby Hall and Gardens, about an hours drive from York.  We were met with tea/coffee and biscuits which was a nice treat.  Then we got to meet the head gardner, Mark Jackson.  Newby Hall has it's Downton Abbey connection.  In the 1800's Newby Hall was owned by Lord Grantham.  No kidding!  In addition there are a lot of references in Downton to places that are close to Newby Hall such as Ripon where Matthew Crawley was a solicitor, Skelton Village is at end of Newby's drive, Easigworld where the staff went to church is 10 miles away and there are more. Enough of Downton Abbey tomorrow is a literary day on the tour.

From Newby Hall we travel on to Harlow Carr Gardens outside of Harrogate in North Yorkshire.  We were able to tour these gardens on own.

After a two hour drive we arrive at Low Wood Bay Hotel in Windemere.  Windemee is in what is known as the Lake District.  What a beautiful place.


York - this mornings extra visit
