Ripley Castle and Gardens, situated 3 miles from Harrogate in North Yorkshire on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a historic attraction we are open to the public all year round and a visit to the Estate makes for a fascinating and entertaining day out, in a beautiful location.
Our history is one of political, military, religious and social turbulence, of plague and persecution, of renaissance, enlightenment and industrial revolution. It is a tale of romance, courage, loyalty and recklessness.
There is no final chapter because we are still here, still enjoying the adventure.

Ripley Castle is a stunning wedding venue. It looks great in every season, the food is delicious, the staff are knowledgeable & are helpful from beginning to end. The accommodation next door at The Boar’s Head is also perfect. Our wedding day ran smoothly and there’s plenty of room for dancing!
Lovely to walk around, very scenic, we are regular visitors, and always enjoy our visit.
A wonderful combination of architecture, garden and parkland to enjoy. Unusual wall trained Ginkgo and some magnificent tree specimens in the garden and parkland. Intriguing glasshouse collection. A tranquil delight on a midweek visit with lovely views across the lake which will improve as Autumn colour begins to show further.
Great looking castle with beautiful gardens. The formal gardens are well kept and the vegetable patch had a good selection. The park is a very pleasant walk and the lake is beautiful. Entry is via the coffee shop which has a small selection of drinks and cakes but no meals. There is a cafe opposite with a decent selection but very little for vegans or vegetarians. There is a guided tour of the castle available.
Lovely piece of history in Yorkshire. Impressive building and the gardens and grounds are lovely. Small shop and a cafe and they do take away drinks at reasonable prices. We visited in March and it was free entry if we purchased a drink. Plenty of spots to sit and picnic as you walk round the grounds and lovely views. Definitely worth a visit

Nidd is a potpourri of architectural styles. Rumour has it that Edward VIII met Wallis Simpson at a party here – and we’ve maintained the tradition by giving our guests a party every night with first class live music, comedy and dancing.
