Londesborough Park which is located near Market Weighton and York is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. The park and gardens are the remains of a once great country estate created almost 500 years ago.
The Parkland was first laid out in the late 17th Century for the 1st Lord Burlington. Today as you walk through the Parkland you will see the lakes that were designed and built at that time, one of the laid out Avenues and from above you can make out the location of the original Londseborough Hall, with its arched brick deer shelters and outer wall still standing.
The site was owned by the earls of Cumberland, who built an Elizabethan house there in 1589. The hall was extended in the 17th century, when formal gardens were laid out, and was said to be the grandest in East Yorkshire. Centuries later, the 'Railway King', George Hudson', bought the estate from the Duke of Devonshire and built his own private train station. By then, the old hall had been demolished and replaced with a Victorian house, which still stands today, though it is on private land.
The first house and landscape on the Londesborough estate dates from the mediaeval period when the Fitzherbert family leased it from the Archbishop of York.
The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail, a long distance footpath passes through the village. Some scholars suggest the still-undiscovered Roman camp of Delgovicia is in the vicinity of Londesborough.
