Swinton Park is the ancestral home of the Cunliffe-Lister family and is set in 200 acres of parkland, lakes and gardens. The castle is surrounded by the family estate in which guests have access to rivers, reservoirs, moorland, dales and beautiful countryside bordering the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Swinton Park is a Grade II * listed building, the heart of which dates from the 1600’s with substantial alterations carried out during the 1700’s and 1800’s.
