Brodsworth Hall and Gardens

Thoroughly enjoyed our day out here. Although quite small, it was very interesting and had some lovely furniture and decor there were knowledgeable volunteers in every room to explain what you are seeing. I am not a big fan of gardens but loved the one here and plan to go back in the summer when there will be more colour. Plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view and lots of little corners to discover. Friends were fascinated by the pet cemetery but, as it was up steep steps, I didn’t see it. Would definitely recommend a visit

Superb grounds and house with full access (ask for lift to fist floor). Cafe and shop. Some gradients in the gardens if you are in a manual wheelchair but you can avoid steep bits and still enjoy extensive grounds. Family history of legal wrangles are said to have inspired Dicken's Jarndyve v Jarndyce court case in Bleak House. Can easily spend a full day here but check limited winter openings.
