Nunnington Hall is a picturesque Yorkshire manor house with organic gardens. There has been a building on this site since 1249, although the existing house has grown out of a Tudor Hall and is primarily a combination of 17th and 18th-century work.
There are many period rooms showcasing artwork, furniture, and the Carlisle Collection of miniature rooms in the attic. Housed at Nunnington since 1981, the Carlisle Collection is now an intrinsic part of the house and collection. Gifted to the National Trust in 1970 and is regarded by many as one of the finest collections of miniatures. The collection is noted for the high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, as well as its unusual scale.
There are also 8 acres of organically managed grounds, including an orchard, wildflower meadows, rose and iris gardens, and resident peacocks.
