The grounds

Swinton Park Hotel sits amid 200 acres of heritage parkland and gardens.
An 18th Century listed landscape, influenced by the great landscapes of Capability Brown, the parkland was created by Danby family during the 1760's. A deer park, five lakes, gardens and follies were laid out and planted. The gardens are beautiful whatever time of year, awash with snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells throughout winter and spring; with summer resplendent with rhododendron and blossom. Walking routes abound, with maps and suggested routes that take in Coffin Lake, Dales View, Quarry Gill and Top Lake with its standing stones and island. The shortest walk, around Coffin Pond, takes about 30 minutes, but to explore the whole area will take several hours!

History of the hotel

The Swinton Estate land title has been in the ownership of the Cunliffe-Lister family since the 1880s, when Samuel Cunliffe-Lister bought the estate on retiring from his mill in Bradford, Manningham Mills (which at the time was the largest factory in Europe). 

The Estate then passed to Samuel's sons and then his grand-daughter Molly and husband Philip Lloyd-Graeme who took the family name on inheriting the estate and the family home, Swinton Park. Philip was a prominent politician who served in 11 Conservative cabinets and was appointed Earl of Swinton in 1955.
