Traditionally Untraditional

A Hidden Gem
Welcome to the unexpected…

Bowcliffe Hall isn’t your typical stately home – and thank goodness for that. Steeped in history and layered with character, it’s a place where tradition meets the unexpected. Yes, there are sweeping staircases and chandeliers. But there’s also a copper-winged treehouse, vintage cars and function spaces that feel curated, not conventional.

Tucked away in the Yorkshire countryside, Bowcliffe is where elegance and eccentricity go hand-in-hand. Whether you’re here to tie the knot, throw a party, or plan an exclusive rendezvous, nothing is off-the-peg, and every detail is designed to delight.

You might only be here for a moment. But Bowcliffe will stay with you forever.

Outdoor Gardens

Whimsy in the Gardens 

The gardens at Bowcliffe are a picture of Georgian elegance, with perfectly kept lawns, blooming borders and sweeping gravel paths. Yet, beyond the symmetry and order you might expect from a grand country estate, there’s a playful side waiting to be discovered. Wander a little further and you’ll find sculptures tucked between hedgerows, contemporary art installations catching the light, and curious details that turn a stroll around the gardens into an unhurried treasure hunt..
