Find a place to picnic

There are many great picnic spots at the places in our care. Pack up your snacks, sandwiches, drinks and treats, and settle down in a garden, park or beside the coast for a picnic with a view. If you run out of food or drink, pop into one of our cafés to top up – there are also many different flavours of ice creams to tempt you. From the Sandilands in Lincolnshire where you can enjoy a snack by the sea, to savouring a quiet spot of lunch among the flowers at Beningbrough Hall in North Yorkshire, there's a great picnic spot for everyone.
