See 300,000 spring bulbs on the ha-ha walk

Many visitors helped in 2016 with the challenge to plant 300,000 bulbs to commemorate the 300th year of the hall. As winter turns to spring, wander along the ha-ha walk and soak in the views over the south parkland. The colour will flow from the whites of the river of snowdrops into pale purples of crocus and yellow of daffodils. The challenge is to spot which patch you planted!
Dogs are welcome to visit with you on winter weekends

The formal gardens sit in the middle of 380 acres of parkland full of ancient trees and wildlife habitats. Come prepared as it can be muddy and all facilities will be closed except on a weekend. It's free to park but please do still book a ticket and walks can be enjoyed through wooded glades and along riverside paths from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Dogs are welcome in the parkland, but please keep dogs on leads or under close control and pick up after your four-legged friend.
