Wentworth Castle Gardens captured the nation's attention on the BBC TV series 'Restoration' and opens fully to the public for the first time on Thursday 3rd May.

The gardens and parkland feature 26 listed buildings and monuments, which are being carefully restored in a major £15million project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

With its atmospheric views, woodland walks and majestic follies - including a dramatic viewing platform at the top of a castle folly 600 feet above sea level - there is something for everyone to enjoy in the gardens all year 'round.

This hidden Yorkshire gem from the 18th century is one of the most important historic gardens in the North of England and is yours to discover from spring 2007.
