Burton Agnes Hall and Gardens

An Elizabethan house of 1601 still lived in by the same family, set behind a Norman gatehouse on the A614 with walled gardens, a yew maze and a woodland sculpture walk. The estate's own booking terms state that dogs are permitted in the Gardens and Grounds, that all dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, and that dogs are not permitted inside Burton Agnes Hall with the exception of assistance dogs. The visitor pages add that dogs are very welcome on leads except in the playground, so the adventure playground is the one bit of the outdoor estate that is off limits. The Carriage House Cafe has outdoor seating, and the woodland walk with its hidden sculptures is the part worth the ticket if you are here mainly to walk. Gardens, woodland and playground open daily from 11am to 5pm.
