Woodchester Park

The valley contains a 'lost garden' – the remains of an 18th- and 19th-century landscape park with a chain of five lakes, fringed by woodland pasture. An unfinished Victorian mansion (not NT), is open to the public on specified days from Easter to October. There are waymarked trails (steep in places) through delightful scenery.Address for correspondence for NT Woodchester Park: The Ebworth Centre, Ebworth Estate, The Camp, Stroud, Glos GL6 7ES.
