Woolly Jumper Walk

Pull on your wellies, wrap up warmly and head out to enjoy woodland views, admire historic monuments and catch a glimpse of the parkland wildlife.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The parkland changes with the seasons and in winter has a beauty all of its own.

Pull on your wellies, wrap up warmly and head out to enjoy woodland views, admire historic monuments and catch a glimpse of the parkland wildlife.

From 29 November, pick up a map at Visitor Reception or from the Visitor Shed when you arrive on site and then follow the 'Woolly Jumper' markers through the parkland.

The walk is approximately 2.5 miles (4 km). We recommend allowing at least 1 and a half hours to enjoy the route.

The basics

Accessibility

In winter, parts of the parkland get very muddy and boggy, so wellies are recommended. There are steady inclines throughout the walk. It is not suitable for mobility scooters or pushchairs.
