LCA Day Trip – Burnby Hall, Water Lillies & Breezy Knees Gardens

Burnby Hall Gardens are home to a National Collection of over 100 varieties of Hardy Water-Lily. Carp and Roach are in both lakes in large numbers and can be hand fed by visitors. There are walkways around both lakes, an ornamental bridge, a Victorian Garden, an Aviary, a new restored Edwardian Rock Garden and a Stumpery, the latter being the most recent addition to this popular visitor attraction. The Gardens are seven times winners of the Yorkshire in Bloom Gold Award for Country Houses, Estates, Parks and Gardens (2010 to 2016).
