Wynyard Park

The 308-hectare estate includes formal gardens, a Y-shaped lake, walking paths, woodlands, and agricultural areas surrounding a classical mansion built between 1822 and 1888.

The land belonged to the Chapel family in the 12th century before passing through marriages, with notable changes occurring after Lady Frances Vane Tempest married the Marquis of Londonderry in 1819.

The park contains an impressive 40-meter obelisk, constructed in 1827 to mark the Duke of Wellington's visit, along with two classical temples designed by the Wyatt architects.

The Golden Gates entrance on Wynyard Road leads visitors to the main grounds, where the current country house hotel offers accommodation and hosts events throughout the year.

The gardens feature terraced walks descending to a Y-shaped lake, while the former kitchen garden has transformed from an orchard into a flower garden.
