MOUNT Grace Priory, House and Gardens will fully reopen for 2018 on Good Friday.

New gardens are being developed at the site, near Osmotherley, North Yorkshire, by celebrity plantsman and broadcaster Chris Beardshaw and the mansion house hosts an exhibition which charts the work that has taken place over the winter.

Some areas of the terraced gardens in front of the house, the orchard and wooded area remain closed until early April.

English Heritage are retaining entry prices from last year until mid April.

Mount Grace is open 10am to 6pm daily from Good Friday.
