John Bourchier created Beningbrough, an Italian Palace nestled between York, Harrogate and Leeds. The impressive rooms are a perfect backdrop for the rich collection of portraits on loan from the National Portrait Gallery. The paintings feature people who have made British history and culture, and in 2015 include contemporary portraits in a display of ‘Royals: then and now’. A working walled garden, grand herbaceous borders and sweeping lawns create a year-round garden. The parkland offers opportunities to explore riverside walks, ancient trees and discover hidden wildlife.
