With 3,800 acres Clumber Park provides an excellent venue for walking, cycling or site seeing any time of the year - even though a summer picnic is a special attraction. The centrepiece was once the fine country house of the Duke of Newcastle but this was demolished in the 1930s. However almost everything else remains. The stables, church, classical palladian bridge (1770), follies and entrance gates survive along amongst the extensive park lands. The estate has a large lake, a double avenue of lime trees from 1840 and a walled garden with a 450 foot 19th Century glasshouse.
