To help you plan your next walk, we've put together a few of our favorites. We have walks available both inside the gardens, and also around the estate boundaries, with a public footpath setting off from our carpark.

Seasonal Highlight Walks

30 minutes: The Winter Garden

The route through the Winter Garden towards the riverside walk, and back via the House is a fully accessible, gentle route if you've only got half an hour. It's also great for prams, pushchairs and wheelchairs. In spring this route is a riot of blossom and scent.

60 minutes: The circular route

The circular route offers a slightly longer walk for those wanting to really stretch their legs. Head towards the front drive, and then down until you reach Jubilee Avenue. For those wanting to go that little bit further, keep going until you get to Coronation Avenue before turning around. This is the deep red route on the map.

90 minutes+: The Hoe Fen trail

If you really want to get some fresh air, the Hoe Fen trail is perfect. Taking in both sides of our wildlife discovery area, the Hoe Fen trail is our lengthiest walk, and can take anywhere from 90 minutes to a few hours to complete. We'd recommend bringing your walking boots for this one! Look out for the purple route on the map.
