Description:
Designed under the guidance of Sir Christopher Wren, this graceful country house, home to the Compton family, epitomises the Georgian ‘Age of Elegance’. Its beautifully restored interior presents Robert Adams at his best.
The award winning gardens created in the early 1920’s boast one of Europe’s longest double herbaceous borders and are of interest to specialist and amateur gardeners alike. Visit in the Spring, Summer or Autumn and discover the secrets of the Rose Garden, The Water Garden and even a tropical garden.
Newby also offers a thoughtfully designed Adventure Garden for children, with a miniature railway, island fort, boating and water play.
