Dams project
Thanks to the final stages of the dams project, our largest restoration project yet, visitors can walk around the lower lake once more to enjoy the reflections of the Palladian Bridge. Summer and autumn will be busy with reinstatement work across the garden.
Nature in summer
As well as the exciting changes the project has brought, there are summer flowers and plenty of insect life to take in.
Look out for wildflowers in the Pasture - maybe an orchid or two hiding in the grass. The Cabinet also comes into its own in summer, with big cream hydrangea flowers, and a sea of colour all around.
Butterflies love the sunny flowery spots, but will also be found at the edge of the shadier woodland areas. Dragonflies patrol the Serpentine Lake looking for friend and foe.
Prior Park provides space to explore for families looking for an active day out, and space to sit and take a moment to enjoy the views, if you prefer things a little slower.

For families there'll be plenty on offer this summer to get the children active and engaged during the school holidays.
