Why it's Wildland

7.4

A former ducal landscape where a great lake, walled kitchen garden and Gothic chapel give Clumber Park its distinctive scale and character.

Clumber combines expansive parkland and woodland with a striking lake, a four-acre walled kitchen garden and a Gothic chapel. Its estate history and substantial walking and cycling network make it more than a pleasant park stroll.
