Gorgeous Greenery - 150 acres of tranquil woodland, meadow and gardens.
Romantic Ruins - explore the haunted remains of a 12th century abbey.
Outdoor Art - Discover quirky modern sculptures in the Formal Gardens.
Hidden History - track down a watermill, a hidden Georgian Icehouse and a pet cemetery.
Rufford Lake - graceful swans, cheeky ducks and leafy waterside walks.
Family Fun - Adventure Play Area, with castle, tunnels and a double zip wire.
Wonderful wildlife - from grebes and goldfinches to acrobatic squirrels.
