Situated on the picturesque Sherborne Estate in the Cotswolds, Lodge Park was created in 1634 by John 'Crump' Dutton. Inspired by his passion for gambling and banqueting, it is a unique survival of what would have been called a grandstand, with its deer course and park.

It was the home of Charles Dutton, 7th Lord Sherborne, until 1983 when he bequeathed his family's estate to the National Trust. The interior of the grandstand has been reconstructed to its original form, and was the first project undertaken by the Trust that relied totally on archaeological evidence.

The park behind was designed by Charles Bridgeman in 1725. The Sherborne Estate is 1,650 hectares (4,000 acres) of rolling countryside with views down to the River Windrush. Much of the village of Sherborne is owned by the Trust, including the post office and shop, school and social club.
Further Information
There are walks for all ages around the estate, which includes the restored and working water meadows.
