About Swinton Gardens

Nestled on the 20,000 acre Swinton Estate is Swinton Park’s 200 acres of heritage Parkland and Gardens.

An 18th Century listed landscape, influenced by the great landscapes of Capability Brown, the parkland was created by Danby family during the 1760’s. A deer park, five lakes, gardens and follies were laid out and planted. The gardens are beautiful whatever time of year, awash with snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells throughout winter and spring; with summer resplendent with rhododendron and blossom. Walking routes abound, with maps and suggested routes that take in Coffin Lake, Dales View, Quarry Gill and Top Lake with its standing stones and island.

The shortest walk takes about 30 minutes, but to explore the whole area will take several hours!
