Woodlands, Rivers & Lake

Beyond the gardens there are many acres of wilder land to explore. Footpaths run throughout the estates woodlands, along the riverside and around our lake.

A diversion off the beaten track can be extremely rewarding. You can easily find yourself alone in a secluded woodland dell or at the lakeside with only the swans for company. These are the quiet places where you might catch a glimpse of a red squirrel, an otter or a kingfisher. Many visitors have noted a special atmosphere around the estate grounds; some may even call it magical.
