Built by the powerful Nevilles in the 14th century, it has been the family home of the Vanes for nearly 400 years. Venture inside the powerful exteriors to see superb collections and hear unique stories of the people who lived and worked here. Explore the picturesque parklands surrounding the magnificent castle and watch the red and fallow deer from afar.
The 18th century Walled Garden has been recently remodelled by renowned garden designer Luciano Giubbilei with Lady Barnard. Together, they have laboured to create a stunning 5-acre vision, including the estate’s well-known yew hedges and the iconic Raby fig. In doing so, they have retained the gardens’ distinctive spirit; one in which the character of Raby and its rich history is deeply embedded. Beautifully framed views and an unrivalled air of tranquillity have put Raby on the map of notable English gardens, and will delight horticultural novices and enthusiasts alike.
We have a range of seasonal food options with handcrafted dishes to indulgent afternoon teas in The Vinery. A stylish and airy recreation of the historic glasshouse with panoramic views of the castle across the High Vinery Garden.
Complete your group visit with a visit to the beautiful Coach House Shop, where you will find a curated selection of homeware and gifts displayed on reclaimed furniture from across the estate. Our philosophy at Raby is local wherever possible, and here in the Coach House you’ll discover the kind of high-quality, artisan items you can’t shop anywhere else.
We offer a bespoke service with our group coordinator to get the best itinerary to suit your needs including discounted rates, free parking, meet and greet on arrival, familiarisation visits and so much more.
