Sledmere House was designed by Samuel Wyatt and Sir Christopher Sykes in the late 1700s and a truly beautiful estate for a stroll. There are entry fees for the house, but it's a great rainy day option if you're into fine antique furniture. The cafe and farm shop can be visited for free and they're open every day apart from mondays. Delicious homemade cakes as you'd expect from somewhere of this grandeur!

Built from golden stone, Sledmere House is a regal Grade I listed Georgian country house on the outskirts of Sledmere village. The house was originally built in 1751 and re-built after a fire in 1911. It has belonged to the wealthy Sykes family since its construction.

The house is set amongst wonderful gardens and parkland that were designed by the prominent landscape architect Capability Brown. The walled gardens are especially beautiful and featured on the TV show, Gardeners World.
