Rokeby Park is a Palladian house built in the 1720s by the amateur architect Sir Thomas Robinson, and it’s still the private home of the Morritt family who commissioned it. Walter Scott stayed here and set his 1813 poem Rokeby around the grounds, where the Tees and Greta rivers meet. The house opens for guided tours on Mondays and Tuesday afternoons through summer, plus a few May bank holidays — check ahead, as it’s only a handful of days a week. It’s a short drive from Egglestone Abbey and Barnard Castle.
