Harewood House Leeds

Harewood House is a country house in Harewood near Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Designed by architects John Carr and Robert Adam, it was built between 1759 and 1771 for wealthy plantation owner Edwin Lascelles, 1st Baron Harewood. There are over 100 acres of gardens at Harewood. They are full of variety, with plants from all over the world. The large adventure playground is a big hit with children as are the penguins and the bird garden. There is a café and gift shop and usually some sort of seasonal activity in the eco-pods & regular events being held.

  • Parking: Designated disabled bays are available in the car park.
  • The House Wheelchair Access: There is disabled access to both the State Floor and Below Stairs of the House, with wheelchair lifts and ramps in place.
  • The Shop Wheelchair Access: The Shop is wheelchair accessible though we did not visit it.
  • The Cafe Wheelchair Access: The Terrace and Courtyard Cafés are both wheelchair accessible. Access to the Terrace Cafe is via Below Stairs, or via the Terrace for electric wheelchair users.
