The "Rose of Raby" sets the scene. This particular "rose", Cecily Neville, was born at Raby Castle in 1415 and today the castle’s 18th century walled garden is still a place to "stop and smell the roses" whilst marvelling at fine old yew hedges and enjoying the clipped formality of sweeping lawns.
Treasure Troves
A French-style Château on the edge of a market town, a splendid collection of Spanish art housed in a former commercial bank and so much more makes Durham full of surprises.
