Steps/uneven terrain
Terrain varies across the estate. Pathways are made up of Cotswold stone, earth and grass paths, the latter two can become waterlogged in wet weather. Footpaths through the Pleasure Grounds are well maintained, with wide accessible gates. The water meadows can become flooded in heavy rain and the ground is very uneven. Paths are cut during the summer only.
