June 2026 Rainy Renishaw

Photos from our Visit to Newby Hall  August 2026
 

We had a very successful trip to Newby Hall in Yorkshire.  It's a beautiful garden with lots of mature trees and a peaceful river running through the grounds. We were interested to see how the borders were looking after the very hot weather and agreed that agapanthus might be a new essential in our own gardens.
