Sewerby Hall And Gardens

Sewerby Hall and gardens is uniquely situated enjoying a very dramatic cliff top position forming the gateway to the Flamborough heritage coast. The hall itself and some of the gardens enjoy a spectacular view over the picturesque north bay of Bridlington. Sewerby Hall was constructed between 1714 - 1720 and was not open to the public until 1936 after it was purchased by the borough of Bridlington council. The house was opened by the very famous local aviator Amy Johnson and now features the Amy Johnson room containing many souvenirs and mementoes.

The stunning gardens and woodland walk provide a relaxing atmosphere with its 50 Acres of multi award winning landscaped gardens. It won the ‘Gold Award’ for the Yorkshire in bloom competition in 2006 and when you visit them you can see why. Many of the Halls visitors come to experience the peace and tranquility of both the formal and walled gardens and take in the scenic woodland walk. The amazing and very popular Monkey-Puzzle trees located in the gardens are reputed to be amongst some of the oldest in England.

Sewerby Hall and Gardens also features a fantastic childrens zoo with a superb collection of both domestic and wild mammals, birds and reptiles. Some of the highlights include Cameroon sheep, Llamas, Monkeys, Humboldt Penguins and Parakeets. The penguin pond layout allows visitors to see the penguins swimming or sunbathing (weather depending of course) and is very busy during feeding time which is usually 3.00pm daily.
