Where can I park?

Parking is available at the Lakeside area. Visitors are requested to park on the grass on the right hand side after you have gone over the second cattle grid, or in the car parking area on right as indicated. The large lakeside grass area is for picnicking and games only, and therefore no cars are able to park here. Disabled visitors are able to park in front of the House.

Where Can I Get Food & Drink

Bodgers Cabin is located next to the Playground and sells hot and cold drinks and a selection of sandwiches and snacks.

Hooke's Cafe is on the Ground Floor of the House and sells drinks, cakes and sandwiches. During the main school holidays (e.g. October half term), Hooke's also provides a small selection of hot meals. Please telephone 01789 762090 to check what is available.
