Burton Constable Hall and Grounds, near Hull – Small areas of formal gardens with decorative borders and clipped yew trees surround this magnificent Elizabethan mansion, but the real delight is the 330 acre grade II* historic parkland – one of the best-documented examples of a landscape worked by England’s greatest gardener, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. Today the Hall and Park are owned by a charity and since 1999 a comprehensive programme of parkland restoration has been in place. Built features including the 18th century Orangery and Brown’s bridge have been restored and the park is now grazed by a variety of rare-breed cattle and sheep – which add a final touch to Brown’s beautiful landscape.
