Carlton Towers

Carlton Towers is one of Yorkshire’s most magnificent treasures — a spectacular stately home that blends grandeur, history, and warm hospitality. Set within a beautiful 250-acre estate, this privately-owned house has been passed down entirely by inheritance for over 800 years, making it not just a place of stunning architecture but also a living piece of English heritage.

Visitors are invited to step through its grand doors and experience the splendour of a true country house. Inside, discover the Venetian State Room, Picture Gallery, Armoury, and the unique Priest’s Hiding Hole bedroom, each filled with fascinating stories of the family who still call Carlton Towers home today. Guided tours bring the past vividly to life, offering a rare opportunity to explore historic interiors and uncover secrets passed through generations.

Beyond the house, the grounds are equally enchanting. Stroll through the tranquil Walled Garden Vineyard, where vines flourish behind powder-blue gates, and learn the story of how this unique vineyard was created in Yorkshire. Afterwards, enjoy indulgent moments in The Stables Tearoom with freshly baked scones, a glass of fizz, or even a bottle of Carlton Towers’ very own Sparkling Rosé Wine or Gin to take home.

Whether you join us for a guided tour, vineyard experience, a luxurious stately stay, or one of our seasonal events, Carlton Towers promises an unforgettable day out. A visit here is more than sightseeing — it’s a chance to step into history, savour timeless beauty, and create lasting memories in one of Yorkshire’s most captivating country houses.
