National Trust owned Clumber Park has a bit of a split personality as most of the time it is just a quiet country park in Sherwood Forest, but a few times a year the park is transformed into a major concert and events venue.
Most of the events take place during the evenings so as not to spoil the tranquillity, but when the place lights up there are few venues that can match Clumber for atmosphere.
If rock concerts aren't your thing, you can just enjoy the 3800 acres of parklands and woodlands, all carefully managed under the watchful eye of the National Trust.
There's room for long romantic strolls, 20 miles of cycle paths and now the Discovery Centre which is well worth a visit with the kids.
Personally I would rate this one of the best public estates in the country and a good outdoor attraction. There's still things to do if the weather turns a little wet (not too common in these parts in Summer).
Don't forget to also visit Edwinstowe, the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre and Sherwood Forest Art and Craft Centre if you want to know even more about the area and of course Robin Hood and places to visit if it's a little damp.

Absolutely wonderful day walking around the lake. The pathways are excellent underfoot. The Gothic church is magnificent and we were lucky to be able to go inside and appreciate the internal structure that has been lovingly maintained. The bird life is interesting with many muted swans and offspring. The gardens, shop and cafe are well worth a visit.
