This visit will explore the different phases of the designed landscape around Penpont. We will aim to look at the remnants of early eighteenth century formal gardens, parkland from the 1770s, ‘picturesque’ walks from the early 1800s and later landscaping from the 1830s, as well as some more recent developments.
The exact route may vary depending on weather, but is likely to involve walking around 3 miles. Be prepared for the route to be steep, muddy and rough in places. Wear walking boots and bring waterproofs, water, poles if you use them, and a light snack or energy bar.
