Stockeld Park, Grade I listed country house in Spofforth with Stockeld, England
Stockeld Park is a stone mansion with a Palladian villa design and a cantilevered staircase inside. The building sits within grounds that include gardens, a chapel, and stable buildings.
The estate was built between 1757 and 1763 by architect James Paine and replaced earlier landholdings on the same site. The Grant family has owned the property for several generations.
The house takes its name from earlier landholders and shows how wealthy families lived in the countryside. The rooms contain furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries that reflects daily life from that era.
The estate is open to visitors from March through October, with guided tours inside the house and free access to the grounds. Sturdy footwear is recommended as paths cross grass and gravel areas.
The estate contains Yorkshire's largest Christmas tree plantation spanning its grounds. Visitors can explore the extensive plantings and see how commercial cultivation has operated here for decades.
