Wednesday Walks
Enjoy the estate from a different perspective and discover the best bits of the parkland and countryside by joining our volunteer guides on a hearty Wednesday Walk.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Each week, we take a different route, varying in distance and taking in different highlights around the estate. Our Wednesday Walks are usually between 3 and 5 miles and take 1 to 2 hours, depending on walking speed. A good level of fitness is required for these walks.
