Scampston Hall & Walled Garden
A hidden gem in the Yorkshire countryside, Scampston Hall and its extraordinary walled garden offer a rare glimpse into the quiet elegance of Regency life and the striking beauty of modern garden design.
Nestled within a landscape shaped by centuries of careful stewardship, Scampston Hall stands as one of North Yorkshire’s finest Regency country houses. Behind its refined façade lie exquisitely restored interiors, home to an impressive art and porcelain collection with works by Gainsborough, Batoni, and Kneller. Once remodelled by Thomas Leverton, the Hall reflects the layered history of the St. Quintin and Legard families, whose roots in Yorkshire stretch back nearly a millennium.
Just a short stroll from the Hall lies the acclaimed Walled Garden—an arresting contrast to the surrounding ‘Capability’ Brown parkland. Originally the estate’s 18th-century kitchen garden, it was transformed by Dutch designer Piet Oudolf into a series of contemporary spaces that remain his largest private commission in the UK. This garden is a masterclass in perennial planting, blending bold structure with seasonal rhythm, and continues to draw admiration from horticultural enthusiasts across the globe.
