Flint House
Sheltered by a bank to the western side of Green Drive (not far from our entry kiosk) you’ll find the grotto-like Flint House. Thought to date from the late eighteentth or early nineteenth century, this small open sided structure has its walls, roof and floor all faced in flint. Today, as many years ago, this garden pleasure building forms an atmospheric spot to take a rest.
Seasonal glories
Spring
Spring brings swathes of bluebells dotted around the estate while delicate blossom fills the Round Garden where nearly 400 fruit trees are trained in an historic circular design.
Summer
The shaded glades of bustling trees offer an escape from the heat of the summer.
Autumn
A canopy of gold and bronze emerges in autumn. The beech trees that cling to the cliffs glow in the dimmed sunshine before dropping their leaves to reveal even greater views over the surrounding countryside.
Good to know
If you want to break your walk, head to our woodland lounge in the centre of the woods where you’ll find essentials such as picnic tables and toilets.
The ground can be slippery under foot in winter and early spring months so wellies or sturdy footwear are highly recommended.
Please note that whilst the Cliveden estate is open until 4.30pm, the Woodland Car Park closes at 4pm.
