I don’t know how it is that I’ve never written about Harewood house but I’ve been a few times and it’s one of my favourites, not just for the plush interiors but for the pretty grounds and secret garden. As usual, I took way too many photos so part 1 will be just about the house and I’ll leave the gardens for part 2.
