Studley Royal Water Garden
The Water Garden is one of the most complete Georgian landscapes in Europe and was created by John Aislabie, Chancellor of the Exchequer under George I. It is a masterpiece of design, with cascades, lakes, islands and temples.
The Garden was restored in the late 1980s and is now open to the public. It is a beautiful place to walk, with wonderful views across Studley Royal Park. There are also tea rooms on site, where you can enjoy a cup of tea whilst taking in the beauty of the Garden.
Studley Royal Water Garden is in Nidderdale AONB, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
