Sutton on the Forest is around 8 miles to the north of York, and is served by an hourly bus service from York which serves a number of attractive villages in the area.
Sutton Park is close to the heart of the town, and there is a bus stop beside the entrance to the grounds of Sutton Park.
The house at Sutton Park was built in the mid 1750s and replaced an earlier Jacobean house. A very knowledgeable lady took us on a fascinating tour of the house, before we spent quite a long time exploring the gardens.
This shot shows the view towards the house from the gardens.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
We had a lovely visit, with a guided tour of the house, and a long wander in the lovely gardens. I shoud add that the village of Sutton on the Forest is an attractive place, with lovely old stone cottages, so we spent some time exploring that as well.
