Newark Park
Explore the 700 acre estate of this Grade I listed building in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. In the park you will pass lakes, a walled garden and a woodland area. Also look out for the many resident deer and peacocks.
The park is located on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment so there are fantastic views of the Cotswold AONB. It is extensive and there are many well signed footpaths to enjoy.
The house dates from the 16th century and includes unique stained glass windows and a beautiful dining room with William Morris wallpaper.
To extend your walking in the area you could pick up the circular walk around Wotton-under-Edge which uses part of the Cotswold Way.

The wooded grounds of Newark Park. The Lower Lodge is just visible far right and one of the paths up to the house skirts the wood across the centre of the picture.
View southwards from Newark Park. Reckoned to be one of the best views in Gloucestershire, this is the view southwards from the terrace of Newark Park. If anything the views from inside the house are even better as they are from a higher vantage point.
Hillmill lane to Lower Lodge. A splendid long weekend spent pretty well snowed in to this National Trust cottage allowed some wonderful photographs.
