Skipton
Located at Skyreholme, near Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales, Parcevall Hall Gardens is known to be one of Yorkshire’s finest hidden treasurers and is well worth a visit.
Parcevall Hall Gardens are the largest gardens open to the public in the Yorkshire Dales. The 24 acres of woodland and formal gardens offer impressive views of Simon’s Seat and Wharfedale.
Sir William Milner (1893-1960) began (in 1927) on a project to rebuild the derelict early 16th/17th Century shell of Parcevall Hall and developed the surrounding moorland landscape in to glorious gardens. At the height of 6’7” he was known as a ‘gentle giant’, but despite his title and having Queen Mary as his Godmother (who made frequent visits to the Hall) he was known to be a reluctant socialite.
The Tea Room, situated at the gardens’ entrance, has spectacular views of the path to Troller’s Gill and Simon’s Seat. It’s an ideal place to relax, spot the wildlife and enjoy the tranquillity of this beautiful place.
Over many years, Parcevall Hall Gardens has become a very popular location with TV and film companies, recently being shown on ‘The Dales’, ‘Hairy Bikers’ and ‘Escape to the Country’.
Parcevall Hall Gardens are located just off the B6265 at Skyreholme, near to the pretty and picturesque village of Appletreewick in Wharfedale.
