Burnby Hall Gardens & York Designer Outlet

Itinerary

The Day

The Gardens
The Gardens that you see today are the result of decades of continuous work by the Stewarts Trust to maintain, enhance and develop the formal hall gardens originally created by Percy and Katharine Stewart.

The Lakes
The most eye-catching feature of these are the Upper and Lower Lakes which are home to over 100 varieties of Hardy Waterlily (Nymphaea) which flower between mid-June and the end of August. Designated a National Collection, the lilies were described as being set in the best natural setting in Europe by a visiting symposium in 1993.
The lakes are also home to thousands of Carp, Roach and Rudd which delight visitors of all ages during the spring and summer months.

Pocklington’s unique Gardens have justifiably been called “a jewel in Yorkshire’s crown” and are home to a National Collection of over eighty varieties of Hardy Water Lilies which bloom on the Upper and Lower Lakes between June and August. Events include an annual Tulip Festival, Sunday brass band concerts, and children’s events held throughout the spring and summer. The Stewart Museum houses artefacts collected by Major Percy Stewart, an adventurer and traveller, who owned Burnby Hall and made eight world tours between 1906 and 1926.
