Guided walk: the archaeology of Dyrham Park

From deer park earthworks, pillow mounds, a horse engine, water tanks and more, find out how the use of the park has developed over time and what these can tell us about life at Dyrham in years gone by. The walk will go into areas not normally open to the public. It will start at visitor reception and go through the parkland and finish down by the house and garden. The walks are free of charge but booking is essential to avoid disappointment as numbers are limited.

Buzz Club in the Walled Garden

This month we’ll be thinking about keeping cool in the Walled Garden. Join us as we discover how plants, insects and other wildlife cope with the summer heat. At 12pm, we’ll head out on our Garden Observation Walk to look for signs of nature adapting to hot weather. Which flowers are still blooming? Where are the butterflies hiding? How do bees keep cool? Back at Buzz Club we’ll record our discoveries in our Year in the Walled Garden diary through drawings, observations and our own nature notes. All welcome, for children and adults, free entry, donations welcome.

Walk With Us - Kennel Pond Loop

Discover more of Woodchester Park and enjoy getting active outdoors with our series of free, guided group-walks. A relaxed and sociable way to explore the park beyond the waymarked trails, following quieter paths and taking in changing seasonal views along the way. Each walk is led by a trained walk leader and supported by walking volunteers, who will guide you at a pace to suit everyone so you don't need to worry about getting left behind! Walks vary in length and terrain depending on the route, but the emphasis is always on enjoyment rather than distance or speed. Please see the route description for more information below. These guided walks are free to attend and open to all. Whether you join for a single walk or attend regularly, this is a chance to explore Woodchester Park together. Kennel Pond Loop | 3.3 miles (5.4 km) | Ascent 175 metres The Kennel Pond Loop is a circular walk of approximately 3.3 miles (5.4 km), starting and ending at Tinkley Gate. A total ascent of around 175 metres. It crosses over two of the park's dams between three lakes at the bottom of the valley: Old Pond, Middle Pond, and Kennel Pond giving a chance to appreciate tiered views across the water and at the wildlife that congregates around them. The terrain is mixed throughout: compacted stone surfaces, woodland tracks and grassy paths. A few steeper sections with a short series of steps down to the boardwalk, but there will be plenty of places to pause to take it as slow as needed.
