Plumpton Rocks is a man-made lake and surrounding pleasure gardens 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-east of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England, near the village of Plompton. The site is now operated as a tourist attraction by the owner, Robert de Plumpton Hunter. It is a Grade II* listed park and garden. The site is now generally spelt with a 'u' (the older name of the parish), although artist J. M. W. Turner referred to it as Plompton Rocks, in keeping with the modern spelling of the parish itself. The gardens reopened in July 2016 following a major restoration of the lake, dam and woods. It closed again in October 2019 to bring the lake dam up to standard for the Reservoirs Act 1975, and reopened in September 2022.
