Brief description of site

Moreby Hall has formal gardens surrounding a country house with a landscape park beyond. Its features include topiary, geometric beds, a pond and woodland.

Brief history of site

The landscape park has medieval origins. The present hall was built from 1828-1833. As part of the early-19th-century rebuilding of Moreby Hall, the existing parkland was probably extended, and terraced gardens were laid out containing topiary, summerhouses, a rosary, a bowling green and a serpentine lake.
