Wrest Park
Explore the evolution of the English garden and take a stroll through three centuries of landscape design at Wrest Park.
From dazzling parterres and fragrant borders, to sweeping landscapes and woodland walks – Wrest Park is a real treat for the senses. Explore over 90 acres showcasing French, Dutch, Italian and English styles side by side.
Keep an eye out for our collection of hidden gems, including the Bath house with its thatched roof and cobbled floor inlaid with a pattern of deer bones; the ornate marble fountain; a Chinese Temple and bridge; and over 40 statues – can you find them all?
There’s even more to explore with the opulent Countess’ Sitting Room, conservatory and interactive exhibition, as well as the Dairy Sculpture Gallery and the baroque Archer Pavilion with its stunning interior.
The perfect pit stop
Families with energy to burn can grab an activity backpack and an audio trail designed for kids and head out to explore the grounds. If they’re still feeling energetic head to the children’s play area to let off some steam.
