Graythwaite Hall,[3] in Ulverston, Cumbria in the Lake District of England is the home of the Sandys family.

One of the more famous members of the family was Edwin Sandys, who was Archbishop of York (1576–88) and was founder of Hawkshead Grammar School which William Wordsworth attended.

The woods surrounding the estate were a favourite walking spot for William Wordsworth, and were the backdrop for Beatrix Potter's story 'The Fairy Caravan' .

The ornamental iron gates at the entrance to the formal gardens were designed by Dan Gibson, a local architect.

Gibson went on to collaborate with Mawson on other projects such as Brockhole and Hanley Park.
