Peaceful strolls

Enjoy a peaceful stroll for a sense of stillness and to hear the birds chattering away. Wander through the dappled shade of the woodland, take a moment at the garden sundial and watch the bees in the herbaceous borders.

Download this map and bring it with you to find the perfect spots for lazy days and summer strolls.

Bring a picnic

Pick a quiet spot to lay down the rug. Bring your hamper and enjoy a traditional picnic in the parkland. The Park Cafe is now open for takeaway snacks and hot and cold drinks. We hope you enjoy the tranquil moments to be had on lazy days, all we ask is you take any rubbish home with you.

Admire the view

Walk a few minutes and to your delight you’re at that view that seemed so distant only a while ago. Stay late in the afternoon and wander off the beaten track to areas you may have missed before, to see the sun dappling shadows over the formal gardens creating a particularly special place to admire Lanhydrock, a place of picture-perfect views.
