One of the really attractive parts of the garden at Newby Hall was the dahlia border, still full of colour and variety, though some of the flowers are getting past their best.
The gardens are very varied and extensive, and include a rockery, pergolas, herbacious borders as well as many others.
Some commercial activity is also present, with a sculpture display for sale, a restaurant and a miniature railway.
Our feeling at the end of our visit was that we had seen a great deal, but that there was more to explore, and that we would love to see the gardens again earlier in the season.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
We bought a fascinating gide book to the gardens while we were at Newby Hall, which gives a fascinating insight into the process of developing and reinvigorating the gardens. We are planning a tour of the house and another day exploring the gardens next year.
