Full Description: Newby Hall, the family home of Mr & Mrs Richard Compton, is one of England's renowned Adam houses, an exceptional example of 18th century interior decoration, recently restored to its original beauty.

Built under the guidance of Sir Christopher Wren in 17 Century, the superb contents of the house, collected by William Weddell, ancestor of the Compton family, include the Gobelins Tapestry Room, a renowned gallery of classical statuary and some of Chippendale's finest furniture.

Award Winning Gardens

25 acres of award-winning Gardens are full of rare and beautiful plants. Newby's magnificent double herbaceous borders form the main axis; off this central walk are formal compartmented gardens such as Sylvia's Garden, a species Rose Garden, Water Garden and even a Tropical Garden - truly "A Garden for All Seasons". The National Collection of CORNUS is also held at Newby.

And of course, Newby's famous Miniature Railway is for children and adults alike!
