Situated in sixteen acres of historic walled and landscaped gardens, Wentworth Garden Centre is arguably the biggest and most attractive centre in the North Midlands. Its setting, in the former Kitchen, Italian and Japanese gardens of Wentworth Woodhouse is unique.We are not a member of any buying group or garden centre chain. We are a long standing, family owned independent and as such care passionately about our customers and their satisfaction. It's a policy that has seen the centre evolve from a tiny village operation into one of the largest garden centres in Yorkshire today.

Our visit to this stately home was the highlight of our holiday in North Yorkshire. Underneath the scaffolding there was much to see, with the helpful commentary of an excellent guide. We did the Wentworth and Garden Tour which took about 2 1/2 hours - the beautiful weather set the gardens off well and we would highly recommend those interested in historic architecture to pay a visit.

Visited with my partner, my son (13) and my partner’s son (7) for an hour just to see what it was like. It was a lovely warm day and were amazed at how popular it was. There were so many activities including jet skiing, inflatables in the lake etc. There were families having bbqs - just a real nice atmosphere. We decided to hire some bikes to ride around the lake and we had great fun! Will definitely return for a full day. Parking is £5 There is a cafe and restaurant onsite and plenty of ice cream vans!

The first time we went we saw a Heron and haven't been back for a long time. Yesterday we decided to visit again. The carpark pay and display had changed , you had to phone a number by mobile phone and pay that way. We asked at the sailing club and was able to pay there and get our ticket . It was £1.00 We walked along the path to the right, but before we came to the road, we turned back and walked back again. Our dogs enjoyed it and I we saw the Heron again, this time over the other side of the water towards the bottom right side . Well worth a visit.
