Discover the Hidden Gems of Harewood Estate

Explore the Estate's Rich History

Harewood Estate has a rich and fascinating history that spans over 1,000 years. From its origins as a medieval hunting lodge to its current status as a popular tourist destination, the estate has played host to some of the most significant events in British history.

One of the most notable aspects of Harewood's past is its connection to the infamous Gunpowder Plot. In 1605, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators attempted to blow up the House of Lords, but their plan was foiled when they were discovered just hours before the explosion.

Today, visitors can still see the remains of the original hunting lodge, as well as a number of other historical structures that have been preserved for future generations.
