While Harewood House Trust manages Harewood House and its immediate Gardens and Grounds, we also work closely with the wider Harewood Estate, which has remained in ownership of the Lascelles family.

The Estate spans some 4000 acres, much of which can be seen from the House, and includes around 100 listed features, including two scheduled monuments, as well as areas of ancient woodland, wood pasture parkland and arable. The Estate has a nationally recognised conservation programme with particular emphasis on the restoration of historic buildings; the protection and management of diverse habitats; and the maintenance of the Grade I Listed Park designed by Capability Brown.

In recent years it’s changed from being a traditionally run estate to one much more outwards facing as a leisure and lifestyle destination. It has become increasingly diverse, and its operations and offerings now include commercial units, residential properties, holiday cottages, filming, arable and livestock farming, forestry, renewable energy generation, food production, health and wellbeing, outdoor education and hospitality.
