Crafted by Lancelot Capability Brown in the 18th Century, Harewood’s landscape encompasses 4000 acres and represents one of Brown’s most famous vistas. Upon first glance, it’s the perfect example of Brown’s work, but there are issues that lie deep beneath the surface.

Over the summer holidays, Harewood has been alive with curiosity and exploration as more than 100 families and guests have joined us for our complimentary Minibeast Safari walks.

Armed with butterfly nets, observation pots and field identification guides, participants set out across beautiful Sun Sides to spot, catch and study insects up close. From the delicate butterflies to beautiful beetles, each find offers a new insight into the miniature wildlife that helps keep our countryside thriving. Every creature is carefully released back into its habitat, ensuring the meadow’s residents remain undisturbed.

You can now hire a Tramper when visiting Harewood. This electric all-terrain mobility scooter can travel over rough ground, making more areas of the Gardens and Grounds accessible to more people.

Volunteers are an essential part of Harewood, and this week we would like to show our gratitude and give thanks…
