In some ways Beningbrough is a real treat. It's on the natural cycle route from Thirsk to York and provides a lovely stretch of very quiet, stately home grounds to cycle through. And if you are a National Trust member you might as well visit when you are there: the gardens are very pretty, and there is a café. On the other hand, the hall itself is rather deserted with very little by way of furnishings. It certainly doesn't feel like a real place, more like a cinema set in between films.

Beningbrough Hall is a large Georgian mansion with extensive gardens and parkland. It was built in 1716 by York landowner John Bourchier III. The National Trust acquired the estate in 1958 after it was given to the country in lieu of death duties. You can visit the house and gardens and there is also a shop and cafe on site. If you're not a NT member there is an admission price to explore the house and gardens but the parkland has footpaths through it and is open to all, as is Home Farm cafe.
