Why it's Wildland

6.0

A Regency-era parkland landscape near Havant, with an ornamental lake, walled gardens, follies and plant collections among its principal features.

The park’s appeal lies in the combination of designed landscape and walkable features: a lake, follies, gardens and plant collections give a visit more to look for than a simple open green space. Check current access and charges before setting out.
