East Riddlesden Hall

I am back in Yorkshire but in a part of Yorkshire I've never been to, West Yorkshire. In fact I'm close to the Lancashire border.

So a National Trust property I have NEVER been to East Riddlesden Hall. The hall is described as mid 17th century but it is older and I think what it means is it was modified into its current look in the 1640's.

As I drove to it I was a bit doubtful as I was driving through a hardly memorable environment however as soon as I entered the drive....

Pretty impressive eh!

A terrapin or turtle?

Instead of going straight around the house I wandered around the garden which are smallish but attractive...

This wing never caught fire it just fell into ruin due to build quality I believe.

So the Scone and a good start!

Into the house

You can see what it would have looked like,

Cat!

The trust are creating a dementia garden for 2020. great idea.

Medieval barn,

So that East Riddlesden Hall.... not one to drive miles to get to BUT a lovely small property that if you are in the area is well worth a visit.
