From the Wikipedia article
Stockeld Park is a Grade-I listed country house and estate situated between the towns of Wetherby and Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, which is now the home of George Grant, the fifth generation of his family to own Stockeld. The estate spans some 2,000 acres and broadly covers the area between Wetherby and the villages of Spofforth and Sicklinghall. The mansion house is constructed of stone in the style of a Palladian villa and features a cantilevered staircase, 18th and 19th century furniture and works of art. Features of the grounds include a dovecote, lodges, a ha-ha, a walled garden, chapel and stables. In addition to traditional activities including farming and properties, Stockeld Park is home to Yorkshire's largest Christmas tree plantation, with some 500,000 Christmas trees in the ground. It is perhaps best known for its Adventure Park, a seasonal attraction created by Peter and Susie Grant, which attracts around a quarter of a million visitors each year. In 2022 Stockeld Park launched the Playhive, which was subsequently voted the best indoor play venue in the United Kingdom.
