Would you like to explore the parkland but not sure where to start? Join this informal walk to discover the variety and beauty of the wider estate through the changing seasons. Dogs welcome.
With volunteer ranger Sarah and her dog Coco as your guides, get to know the parkland a little better on a gentle walk. Depending on your interests on the day, as well as the weather and time of year, Sarah can give you a flavour of what the parkland has to offer and answer your questions about the estate.
From the two herds of deer, to the Serpentine and its resident wildlife, the woodlands and long-standing trees, butterflies and wildflowers, the 500 acres of parkland is certain to delight both new and regular visitors.
Dogs are very welcome on this walk, but in line with our guidance on site, must be kept on a short, fixed lead.
