The Park is much more than a pleasant place to visit; it's a nationally important historic site. Henry VIII hunted here and the parkland landscape we enjoy today was created by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in the 18th century. It is also home to a variety of interesting wildlife and the park's veteran trees, many planted by Capability Brown, some even older, are a valuable part of the park's heritage.
