Harewood House is an 18th-century Palladian-style country house in West Yorkshire, built between 1759–1771 by John Carr and Robert Adam for the Lascelles family, and is set within over 1,000 acres of Capability Brown–designed parkland. Its southern Italianate Terrace, designed by Sir Charles Barry in the 1840s, features ornate parterre gardens, clipped topiary, and the central Orpheus statue, creating one of England’s most celebrated Victorian garden ensembles.
