Brief description of site

Newby Hall has extensive gardens and a landscaped park. There is a view of around 8 kilometres to the hills and folly to the west of house. The gardens were developed by Major Edward Compton from 1925, incorporating 19th-century elements. The parkland has 17th-century origins but was laid out chiefly in the late-18th century.

Brief history of site

Sir Edward Blackett bought the site in 1689. He laid out extensive gardens which were possibly designed by an assistant of London & Wise, Peter Aram.
