Head out into the parkland on a friendly volunteer-led walk to learn about the way in which Thomas and William Wentworth shaped their wider estate.

The route will take in all of the significant monuments and features in the parkland: the Duke of Argyll monument, the Rotunda, Queen Anne obelisk, Serpentine and Palladian bridge. There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, meet others and enjoy the views and the wildlife.

New for 2025: the walk will include a chance to look inside the Rotunda and view the black & white geometric floor.
