Wood and water
Take a walk through some of our 370 acres of glorious woodland. The park abounds with trees that have seen the centuries come and go, including our magnificent 650 year old Repton oak on the Deer Park walk.
Attingham is host to around five miles of river, featuring beautiful stretches of the Severn and Tern. Our many ponds are a haven for wildlife, from ducks, swans and otters to dragonflies.
Creating homes
The estate has many miles of hedges, but far less than it would have had 50 years ago. To help put back what we have lost, our dedicated team of staff and volunteers plant or lay about a mile of new hedge each year.
