Visit Heritage Blog (June 2019) - Visit Heritage

This summer to mark the bicentenary of famous American writer Herman Melville, Burton Constable Hall in East Yorkshire are launching an ambitious project to bring to life the gigantic sperm whale skeleton that lives in its stable block.

The Peonies in the 100 metre long bed are beginning to bloom, with around a dozen flower heads now open, it is likely the rest will follow in quick succession should the sunny days continue! So visit in the coming weeks to catch the 4 varieties of  Pink Peony (Monsieur Jules Elie, Lady Alexander Duff, Albert Crousee and Sarah Bernhardt) at their best.
