Things to see in the parkland
The house might be closed this Christmas, but there are acres of parkland to enjoy this winter. The fallow deer and jacob sheep are often well camouflaged at this time of year. Can you spot them feasting on the extra food we've left out for them to help them in the colder months?
There's a steady stream of birds visiting the parkland during the winter. Pick up a spotter sheet at Visitor Reception to see which birds stop by for a bite to eat.
Bring your binoculars to see a flash of blue as the Kingfishers spend their winters with us and the herons, egrets and other wildfowl forage at the rivers' edge.
From Tuesday 4th January 2022, the part of parkland to the left of the house known as West Park, will be closed due to the very muddy conditions.
