Happy birthday Beningbrough – celebrating 300 years. In 2016 the changing fortunes of this grand country house and garden will be told through stories of prosperity, loss and re-invention. From a wealthy teenager who created this Italian palace in Yorkshire in 1716 to the Victorian family who liked tobogganing down the elegant cantilevered staircase! A working walled garden, grand herbaceous borders, sweeping lawns and a play area for children to let off steam, creates a year round garden. 7 miles north of York, easily accessed from the A19.
