Swinton Castle
Open to visitorscheck opening times and admission before you go
Robert Lugar gave this Georgian house its castellated turrets and round tower in the 1820s, but the real draw is the parkland around it: 200 acres laid out in the 1760s for the Danby family, with a Capability Brown-influenced deer park, five lakes and follies. It’s been home to the Cunliffe-Lister family since 1882, and today the castle itself is a hotel and spa. Day visitors can buy a pass to walk the parkland and the four-acre walled kitchen garden. Masham is a couple of miles east.
