Swinton Castle, Swinton with Warthermarske - Harrogate

Gardens and extensive pleasure grounds with grottos, rustic bridges and rockwork laid out between 1796 and c1820 under the direction of Adam Mickle the second and others for Sir William Danby, incorporating lakes and landscaping of c1760. The park probably has C17 or earlier origins. A significant proportion of the tree cover has reached maturity and beyond. Some structures are in poor condition and water bodies in Quarry Gill woods are heavily silted. Some notable structures within the landscape are in need of maintenance and repair.
