Winter walks at Sheffield Park and Garden From pushchair friendly paths in the landscape garden to our circular walk on the parkland which takes in woodland, countryside and Skyglade, there are plenty of opportunities for a brisk winter walk at Sheffield Park. Don't forget to finish your visit with a warming drink in the Coach House tea-room. Things to see and do We couldn't do it without you Thanks to your support we have been able to restore historic ponds on the parkland, providing new habitats for our wildlife. Please note: the unauthorised flying of drones at our places isn’t permitted. You can find our drone policy here Read our full access statement (PDF) Acres of landscape garden bordered by historic parkland and woodland The garden is a horticultural work of art formed through centuries of landscape design, with influences of 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton. Four lakes form the heart of the garden, with paths circulating through the glades and wooded areas surrounding them.
Each owner has left their impression, which can still be seen today in the layout of the lakes, the construction of Pulham Falls, the planting of Palm Walk and the many different tree and shrub species from around the world. Our historic parkland forms a larger footprint for the Sheffield Park estate. Dating back several centuries, it has had many uses including a deer park and WWII camp, and is now grazed with livestock and home to our natural woodland play trail in Ringwood Toll. The River Ouse runs across the bottom of the parkland and the original meanders are still visible winding across the meadow. This area has been transformed into a wildlife haven and is home to a diverse range of species including kingfishers, birds of prey, butterflies, and dragonflies.
