Our new sensory space within the Discovery Centre provides a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of the park. It offers a calm space with busy boards for visitors to enjoy, and a relaxation space with engaging and calming lighting.

The Ornamental Bridge was built between 1763 and 1770, spanning the River Poulter to the southwest of the house and forming part of the Duke’s Drive. The bridge was designed by Stephen Wright alongside the cascade and grotto nearby.
The restoration of the Ornamental Bridge was completed in 2020, a project that took two years to complete following an act of vandalism in 2018. The next stage of the project is to replace the current concrete bollards with a permanent and more aesthetically pleasing security measure to help protect the Grade II listed monument for future generations.
During long dry spells of weather, parch marks on the lawn reveal the layout of the rooms and corridors of Clumber House that was demolished in 1938. The parch marks are the result of differential vegetation growth during a long dry period which reflects the underlying archaeology.
