Wivenhoe Park, Grade II listed park and garden in Wivenhoe, England
Wivenhoe Park extends across 200 acres of landscaped grounds, featuring three connected lakes, mature oak trees, and numerous walking paths throughout the property.
The Rebow family owned the estate from 1733 to 1902, during which time they commissioned John Constable to create paintings of the park in 1816.
The parkland serves as the main campus of the University of Essex since the 1960s, integrating education with historical landscape preservation.
Visitors can access multiple walking trails, observe various wildlife species, and explore the grounds that received the Green Flag Award six times.
The park contains cork oak trees planted by John Constable himself, which continue to grow alongside ancient oaks within the established tree walk.
