Welcome to Burnby Hall Gardens
These delightful Gardens, close to the centre of Pocklington (a thriving market town in the County of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England), are home to a National Collection of Hardy Water Lilies - the biggest such collection to be found in a natural setting in Europe.
The two lakes that contain the lilies are set in eight acres of beautiful gardens - including rock gardens, a natural shrubbery, formal beds, the Secret Garden, a Victorian Garden and many other attractions, details of which may be found here on our website.
The Gardens were the inspiration of Major Percy Stewart who, on his death in 1963, left his estate in Trust for the enjoyment of the people of Pocklington and the thousands of visitors who come from all over the world. The Stewart Museum in the Gardens provides a fascinating glimpse into his life.
Enter our website and enjoy the delights of Burnby Hall Gardens and Museum; and be assured of a warm welcome when you visit in person.
