    1. Waterfall, Harewood House

    This dramatic water feature is fed by Harewood's lake and the stream leading from it winds through the lovely Himalayan Garden, which is full of rhododendrons, primulas, and other exotic plants.

    Harewood's 140 acres of gardens, woodlands and parkland were landscaped in the 18th century by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, who pioneered a move away from the symmetrical formality of previous centuries (think Versailles) and espoused a more romantic, "natural" look – albeit one that often involved razing villages and shifting thousands of tonnes of earth to create the right kind of vistas!

    2. Village pump, Burton Leonard

    This parish pump, with its picturesque roof topped with a weather vane, stands on one of Burton Leonard's three village greens.

    It is thought it may have been built in the 1870s by James Brown of Copgrove Hall, who planted a row of lime trees on Low Green in 1873.

    3. Masham Town Hall

    This grade II listed building dates from 1912, and was funded by a legacy from the 2nd Baron Masham, Samuel Cunliffe-Lister, whose great-great-great-nephew, Mark Cunliffe-Lister, is the current Earl of Swinton and owner of Swinton Park.

    Incidentally, Mark's wife is Councillor Felicity Cunliffe-Lister, the Liberal Democrat representative for Masham on North Yorkshire Council.

    Masham Town Hall remains an important hub of the community for the town, and hosts a varied programme of live music, comedy and theatre throughout the year, plus a range of regular craft and community events.

    Comin up this month: Three Little Pigtails, a "fresh and funny version of the classic story of the three little pigs is set in Paris" (April 12), and Martin Simpson, "one of the virtuoso instrumentalists of the English music scene" (April 22).

    4. Japanese Garden, Harrogate

    A Japanese garden was created in the Valley Gardens sometime before 1930, but over the decades the character of the garden declined, leaving only a few Japanese maples, and was virtually forgotten.

    Restoration work began in 2017 to bring the heritage of the garden alive again and the Shijima no niwa – the Garden of Serenity – was completed in 2018.
