As you explore our 400 acres of parkland, pasture and woodland you may come across our wellbeing spaces.
These are designed to encourage you to rest, reflect, recharge or get active. They are designed for all ages with a view to enriching your experience of spending time in our historic landscape.
You might choose to:
Follow the shapes of the clouds and imagine what they resemble
Simply rest your eyes and listen to the sounds around you
Use this space for quiet conversation or personal reflection
There’s no right or wrong way to use this space—just take the time you need.
Settle in with a book, a poem, or simply your own thoughts. Surrounded by the landscape, it’s an opportunity to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with stories, or with yourself.
You might choose to:
Read something you’ve brought with you
Sit quietly and enjoy the space without reading at all
Take your time—there’s no rush here.
When the sign says open, you are welcome to use Home Paddock — the large field in front of the manor house— as a space to play, relax, and enjoy the outdoors.
This is a place for:
Informal games and gentle activity
Picnics with family and friends
Time to move, explore, or simply sit and take in the view
This frame invites you to see the landscape differently—to focus your view and appreciate the beauty of the historic parkland beyond. Step up, look through, and notice the details: the trees, the light, the changing seasons.
You might choose to:
Frame your favourite view
Take a photograph
Simply stand still and take it all in
You are invited to take a stone and leave a stone—adding your own contribution to this evolving gallery. Each piece tells a small story, whether painted, decorated, or simply chosen for its shape or texture.
You might choose to:
Leave a decorated stone for others to find
Take one that catches your eye
Spend a moment exploring what others have created
Please keep the exchange balanced—if you take a stone, consider leaving one for someone else.
