Step inside Yorkshire’s best-kept secret…

Uncover the grandeur, gossip and glorious past of Carlton Towers on this guided historic tour of one of Yorkshire’s most magnificent stately homes. From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll be swept up in tales of aristocracy, inheritance and intrigue – all brought to life by an expert guide who knows every hidden corner and creaky floorboard.

Wander through the opulent Venetian State Room, soak up the splendour of the Picture Gallery and uncover the secrets of the Armoury. There’s even a peek into the intriguingly named ‘Priest’s Hiding Hole’ bedroom – a story in itself. This is a rare opportunity to experience parts of Carlton Towers not usually open to the public, and to hear the fascinating family history of a home that’s been passed down through generations.

And when you’ve had your fill of history and heritage? Settle into one of the stately rooms and enjoy a freshly baked homemade scone (jam first, obviously), served with a proper cup of Yorkshire tea.

Perfect for: history buffs, Downton Abbey daydreamers and anyone who loves a good Yorkshire story with their scone.

Selected dates available.

The Bishop and The iGuided Tour of Carlton Towers Followed by Cream Tea

Guided Tour of Carlton Towers Followed by Cream Tea, a unique experience at an exquisite stately home in Yorkshire with a long and distinguished history. Carlton Towers is the real family home of Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan Howard. The family live in one wing, with the rest of the house given over for weddings, unique events and stays.

Carlton Towers was originally cited as being under the ownership of Robert de Brus in the 1086 Domesday Book. Ownership by the family today can be traced back to 1301. Over the 700 years that followed, a rich and fascinating history unfolded, including Kings of Jerusalem crusaders, and knights who fell on the fields of Bannockburn – the rooms and house adornments depict their legacy and testament.

In 1990, Gerald and Emma moved from London to Carlton Towers. Prior to their arrival, the house had been unoccupied for some 20 years. Gerald and Emma embarked upon an extensive restoration of the house to create a beautiful family home for them and their three children: Arthur, Florence and Grace.
