Ampthill Park, Royal park in Ampthill, England
The 160-acre parkland contains ancient woodlands, open meadows, and tennis courts spread across rolling hills in the Bedfordshire countryside.
King Henry VIII utilized this estate as a hunting ground and housed Katherine of Aragon during their marriage annulment in the 16th century.
The park landscape bears the signature design elements of Lancelot Brown, who reshaped the grounds during the 18th century Georgian period.
Two dedicated parking areas provide access to the park, with one located near the Football Club and another along the A507 bypass.
The park served as the burial location for a golden hare during the 1979 treasure hunt documented in Kit Williams' book Masquerade.
