Wyresdale Park

Wyresdale Park is an English country house and licensed wedding ceremony venue located within the Forest of Bowland, to the northeast of Scorton, Lancashire, England.

The family worked with Ruth Watson, and cooperated with the Channel 4's programme Country House Rescue, creating a café and arranging Open Days.

On their marriage his father-in-law, Thomas Hardcastle, gave Ormrod Halliwell Hall, and the new owner made major alterations to the house.

[9] In about 1912, Dame Laura Knight visited Wyresdale Park with her husband, Harold, at the request of the then owner Captain Peter Ormrod.

The estate was split, with the house and surrounding grounds being sold to Dr Hugh Riddell,[13] and a large portion of the remaining land to Shepherd Whewell.

From the 1960s, he and his brother started re-uniting parcels of the estate, including the house, and concentrated on hunting partridge, pheasant and mallard.

The family was pointed in a different direction when they featured on Channel 4's Country House Rescue, a show in which presenter Ruth Watson gives blunt advice to owners of estates and stately piles struggling to keep their heads above water.

In 2018, the estate moved into a new phase after restoring a large collection of Victorian barn buildings – a full set of stables, haylofts, a shippon and a piggery into unique spaces, especially for weddings.
