The sheltered walled garden on the bank of the River Rye, with its delightful mixed borders, orchards of traditional fruit varieties and spring-flowering meadows, complements this mellow 17th-century manor house. From the magnificent oak-panelled hall, three staircases lead to the family rooms, the nursery, the haunted room and the attics, with their fascinating Carlisle collection of miniature rooms fully furnished to reflect different periods.

Portfolio - A Major Exhibition of Photographs by Bryan Adams
Visitors to Nunnington Hall this spring will be among the first to see a stunning collection of photographs entitled Portfolio, by musician and photographer Bryan Adams.
The thirty works that make up Portfolio, and going on show at Nunnington, reflect the scope of Bryan's work from the formal, to more candid moments captured by his lens. The breadth of people he has photographed is a testament to the esteem that Bryan is held in as photographer. Models to actresses, musicians to royalty - all have all been the focus of his attention. Mickey Rourke, Ray Charles, Jill Hennessey, Helena Bonham-Carter, Keith Richards and Pink feature alongside Tony Blair, The Pope, Barbara Cartland and The Queen.
