Top Ten Family-Friendly Historic Houses by Abigail Flanagan

"This grand Georgian mansion gets families working together. More than a dozen activity trails for children can be downloaded free from Harewood’s website to make the most of your time here. Up at the house make sure to go Below Stairs, where kids can dress as servants, and workshops and culinary displays will reveal what life was once like for staff here. Outside you’ll find glorious gardens, a superb adventure playground and Harewood’s renowned Bird Garden. Events for 2013 include a Festival of Play – with have-a-go fun ranging from obstacle courses to den building; a Kite Festival and Teddy Bear’s Picnic; and the North’s most spectacular, stock-tastic Medieval Faire."
