Venue information

The park is about 3,800 acers, this includes peaceful woods, open heath and rolling farmland, the longest avenue of lime trees in Europe and a serpentine lake in the middle.

Clumber was formerly home to the Duke of Newcastle. The house was demolished in 1938, but many features of the estate remain, including a Gothic Revival chaple and Walled Kitchen Garden, with glasshouse, growing old varieties of vegetables.

Please note the park is closed on the 16th August and the 25th December.

Venue verdict: A lovely location with lakeside walks and woodland trails, excellent for all types of photography.
