    The Gardens

    The Garden landscape at Harewood has been intimately bound to the House from its beginning. In 1758, as the proportions and foundations of the House were being laid out, the shape of the surrounding landscape was being determined by the designer Lancelot 'Capability' Brown.

    Although others had enhanced the landscape before him, Brown's interpretation of the Classical landscape with subtly altered hills and valleys, naturalistic plantings of trees and the characteristic serpentine lake form the idyllic rural setting to the Palladian Country House and its subsequent garden developments.

    Other garden designers followed Brown, resulting in the planting of Pleasure Grounds that extend from the lake, to the south west of the House, up through the parkland to the north.
