Wentworth Castle Gardens provides a wonderful day out for all the family. A secret Yorkshire treasure awaits you, hidden away in green rolling hills near Barnsley, less than an hour from Leeds and Sheffield. The estate was home to the former Earls of Strafford, and captured the imagination of the nation on the BBC series 'Restoration' in 2003.
The estate extends to some 600 acres and is the only Grade 1 Listed Landscape in South Yorkshire. It offers unrivalled opportunities to view the National Plant Collections of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias, while wandering through the 40 acre Pleasure Gardens, admiring their fascinating monuments and wildlife.
The estate will be a hive of activity until 2008 as they work on their ambitious £15 million restoration project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which will restore the estate to its former glory. The gardens will be open to the public during this time, and visitors will be able to witness the fascinating transformation of the Wentworth Castle Gardens and Parkland.
