Explore castle history, beautiful gardens and deer-filled parkland
Raby Castle has stood at the heart of the estate since the 14th century and is packed with stories from the people who lived and worked there. From dramatic medieval architecture to carefully kept collections, it’s a brilliant place to step into the past without feeling like you’re stuck in a history textbook.
Outside, the Walled Gardens bring colour, calm and clever design together across 5 acres. Look out for the estate’s famous yew hedges, the iconic Raby fig and beautifully framed views that make the gardens feel tucked away from the everyday.
Then there’s the Deer Park, with 200 acres of open parkland and walking routes to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for red and fallow deer as you wander, but remember to give wildlife plenty of space, especially during calving season.
