Lodge Park & Sherborne Estate
Recommended by
Overview
National Trust-owned Sherborne Park is a working estate. It has an abundance of wildlife, from fallow and roe deer to badgers and foxes. The 18th-century water meadows are home to otters and water voles. Around the Pleasure Ground, there are child–friendly orienteering and sculpture trails, which start at Ewe Pen Barn. Parking is available at Northfield Barn. If you and yours enjoyed the sculpture trail, there’s another children’s quiz/trail at nearby Lodge Park, a 17th-century grandstand also owned by the National Trust. Lodge Park also offers picnic facilities and refreshments.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
