AMAZING SIGHTS IN BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS
Yorkshire in Bloom -- Silver Gilt & Gold Rose Award Winner --- "A fascinating walk for the judges through many hidden gardens and is indeed a plantsman's paradise."
Cold Cotes' extensive garden, filled with birdsong and creative plantings, is at ease in its rural setting. With expansive views to the Hambleton Hills, it provides beautiful, tranquil and relaxing surroundings for you to explore during your visit.
Along with these beautiful gardens comes the opportunity to see the array of wildlife that this area is home to. We have included a list here of the lovely friends that we see from time to time as we go about our work here at Cold Cotes.
