North Yorkshire Gardens

4th to 7th July 2011

Staying at The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate

Another “sell out” tour in 2010!  From the RHS’s first garden of the North of England at  Harlow Carr to a magnificent private hillside terrace garden in the Yorkshire Dales, this three night break offers a taste of this region's horticultural excellence.  







En route to Harrogate we stop at Coton Manor in Northamptonshire, a peaceful 10 acre garden comprising distinctive smaller gardens, flowing streams, fountains and ponds.  On the following day we enjoy a scenic drive through the Yorkshire Dales for a private tour of the spectacular gardens at Parcevall Hall. and we visit Newby Hall at Ripon to explore 25 acres of award winning gardens.  Another exceptional private garden and Castle Howard, famous for its rose garden in June and July, also features.  
 

Originally an 18th century coaching inn, The Old Swan was home to Agatha Christie during her disappearance in 1926, and has since been used as a film set for the 1977 film, Agatha.   Your Hillier host will make sure no guests disappear on this trip!
