Day by Day Itinerary
Harewood House
We depart from our designated pick-up points and head northwards to our first visit, Harewood House. Sitting in the heart of Yorkshire the house was built in the 18th century, designed by architects John Carr and Robert Adam for the 1st Baron of Harewood. A Grade I listed building, the house is home to an art collection that is one of the finest in Britain. We have the chance to explore this impressive collection as well as time to explore over 100 acres of gardens, with a variety of plants from around the world in the setting of a wonderful landscape designed by Lancelot ’Capability’ Brown.
We later make our way to our hotel where dinner will be served in the evening.
