RHS Burnby Hall Gardens And Museum
Burnby Hall Gardens and Museum are situated in the charming town of Pocklington on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds.
Originally the estate of Major Percy Stewart, adventurer and collector, the gardens were developed by him and left in trust on his death in 1962.
The gardens comprise upper and lower lakes set in 3.6ha (9 acres) of woodland and garden, and contain a National Collection of more than 100 varieties of hardy water lily. Carp and roach are in both lakes in large numbers and can be hand fed by visitors.

There are walkways around both lakes, an ornamental bridge, a contemporary walled garden, an aviary garden, an Edwardian Backhouse-designed rock garden, a stumpery, and a birch walk. The constantly changing vistas offered provide a haven of tranquillity at all times of the year, particularly in the summer months when the water lilies are in full bloom.
