Go on a Spooky Trail at Ilam Park this half term holiday where children can hunt for clues and make a muddy broth in the woods.
Much of Ilam Park and Dovedale is grazed by sheep and cattle by our tenant farmers. Dogs are always welcome, but please keep them on a lead to help us minimise disturbance to the farm animals.
Find out how we are improving the River Dove for fish, birds and invertebrates.
This is a great time to get out in the woods! See and hear woodland wildlife, spot fungi and lichens and admire their wonderful shapes.
