Burton Constable Hall, Skirlaugh, East Yorkshire
Discover one of East Yorkshire’s hidden treasures at Burton Constable Hall, a magnificent Elizabethan mansion surrounded by sweeping Capability Brown parkland.
Explore over 30 rooms, including the remarkable Cabinet of Curiosities. This unique collection, filled with rare and unusual artefacts collected by William Constable, captures the spirit of the Enlightenment. Admire exquisite Chippendale furniture, showcasing the height of 18th-century craftsmanship and style. Outside, scenic trails lead through lakes and open, ancient grasslands, alive with wildlife. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring whale skeleton, famously referenced in Moby Dick, a highlight that makes Burton Constable truly unique. Relax at the Stables Kitchen, where homemade food and cakes are served, with all proceeds supporting the Hall and Parkland’s ongoing conservation.
