A Legacy of Beauty and Botanical Excellence
Nestled in the heart of Pocklington, Burnby Hall Gardens are a testament to over a century of careful cultivation and vision. Originally established by Percy and Katharine Stewart in the early 1900s, the gardens evolved from private estate grounds into an enchanting landscape filled with historical charm and horticultural prestige.
The lakes, home to the National Collection of Hardy Waterlilies, provide a stunning centrepiece, their delicate blooms creating a mesmerising display through summer. Formal gardens, a restored Edwardian rockery, and an elegant walled garden weave through the landscape, offering seasonal bursts of colour and carefully curated planting. Features such as the Stumpery and Birch Walk bring a naturalistic touch, attracting wildlife and enhancing the gardens’ serene atmosphere. Rich in heritage and botanical wonder, Burnby Hall Gardens continue to flourish, preserving a legacy that captivates visitors year after year.
