Clumber Park

A National Trust property, Clumber Park is open daily all year. This wide expanse of parkland, farmland and woods covers over 3800 acres (1500 hectares) was once the seat of the Dukes of Newcastle. There are over 120 different types of tree at this wonderful National Trust property, offering year-round colour and including the memorable avenue of limes, 2 miles (3km) long, which forms the main approach.

Although the mansion was demolished in 1938, many original Clumber Park estate features survive, including the Victorian chapel, a Gothic Revival 'mini-cathedral', stable yard and garages and ornate entrance lodges. Particularly fascinating are the superb 19th-century glasshouses, which incorporate a palm house, vineries and working apiary, and overlook the walled kitchen garden. An avenue of cedars leads to the pleasure grounds.

At the heart of the estate is the magnificent serpentine lake, complete with balustraded bridge and delightful Doric Temple. A stroll along the lakeshore gives spectacular views and offers good fishing and birdwatching.

New - Barkers Restaurant, formerly home to Clumber Park’s head gardeners, is an elegant award winning setting for a coffee-time treat, lunch, afternoon tea or evening meal. Enjoy the finest homemade dishes created using local seasonal ingredients, many picked fresh from Clumber’s kitchen garden.
