Treasurer's House, York
Recommended by
Overview
Named after the Treasurer of York Minster and built over a Roman Road, this mellow medieval house is not all it seems – the size, splendour and contents of the building are a constant surprise to visitors, as are the ghost stories. Wealthy industrialist Frank Green did much to restore the house, furnishing each room in a different period style – eclectic treasures include the Wedgwood cauliflower-shaped tea service and a 17th-century chandelier of Venetian glass. The award-winning garden is an oasis of calm, and has amazing views of York Minster across the way. The Below Stairs cafe serves morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea, and around the corner on Goodramgate, is York's larges NT shop. Photo credit: All images - Chris Lacey.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
