Discover Lanhydrock's estate

Lanhydrock estate covers 1,000 acres, with parkland, woods and riverside paths. Guides of the many walks to explore are available in reception, at the gatehouse or the shop. Wildlife spotters will be in their element here. With plenty of flora and fauna to discover, from flowers to fungi and bugs to bats, there's something for everyone to see and do.

Get snapping

Autumn and winter are super times for taking photographs. The low sunshine strikes beautifully through branches and glints off grasses all over the estate for fabulous scenic shots, and we've lots of photogenic robins and feisty pheasants in the grounds.

Victorian swimming pool

Tucked away off the beaten track is the remains of the Victorian family's swimming pool. Once a grand recreational area with a building for changing in, this area is now popular with school groups for pond dipping.

Leaf your mark

Do a bit of tree spotting on your walk around the estate and see how many different types of leaves you can find. You can collect fallen leaves to create your own wild art or make a leaf crown if you're feeling crafty. We'd love to see your creations, so please share any art you make on our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram feeds.

Fabulous fungi

We leave fallen branches and trees in situ to create habitats for insects on the estate and these also make a wonderful breeding ground for fungi. See how many different varieties you can find on your walk.
