Overview

The tranquil, ancient parkland of Dunsland park once befitted the grand house that stood in its midst. The park is home to a variety of trees, including 700-year-old sweet chestnuts and old fruit trees. Wander around the remaining buildings of Tudor Dunsland House. All apart from the old stable and coach house were lost in a fire in the 1960s. The trees in Dunsland Park support many rare lichens and provide a rich habitat for wildlife. Bluebells and primroses can be seen in spring and you may hear the rustle of dormice and roe deer. Look out for dippers and sparrow hawks too.
