Bramham Park represents an important stage in British architecture and garden design: the House is neither baroque nor typically Palladian and the gardens are a transitional stage between the formality and order of the 17th century and the freer Landscape Movement of the later 18th Century.
Bramham is a rare survivor of the period and we have tried to keep it as its creator, Robert Benson, intended it. There is lots of space and it can be all yours to discover for the day. Please note, however, that we do not have any facilities to serve refreshments – please bring your own picnic to enjoy in the grounds!
The Landscape
The Bramham Landscape covers 350 hectares or nearly 900 acres of rolling countryside. Some of it (especially the area in the immediate vicinity of the House) is easily accessible in a vehicle or a wheelchair, but some of it is only passable on foot and includes some steep slopes. Ground conditions can also play a part: many of our walks are grass and may become soft in wet weather. Dogs of all sorts are always welcome, but please keep them under control at all times and on a lead in the Garden.
