Visit the Himalayan Gardens and Sculpture Park in the heart of North Yorkshire

Inspired by the Himalayas, the garden is home to one of the North’s largest collection of
rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias. The terrain undulates with steep paths in some
areas, meandering through 45 acres of woodlands, gardens, an arboretum, and alongside
tranquil lakes with a multitude of wildlife.

"Stunning place, tucked away in beautiful countryside. Gardens and arboretum are a joy to walk through, and then there's the vast amount of sculptures dotted all over. Tea room is also well worth a visit and all the staff were very friendly. A hidden gem." - 

There's so many things to see at the Himalayan Gardens and Sculpture Park

Over 90 contemporary sculptures are dotted around the park, carefully chosen to enhance
the surrounding environment and with a woodland adventure playground it’s great for kids
to explore and hunt-out the Fairy Doors. New for 2024 the garden is hosting ‘Sculpture in the
Landscape’ an exhibition of new sculptures by artists from throughout the UK.
