This circular walk takes you around the two lakes in the grounds, over the new pontoon bridge and through the arboretum returning back to the starting point. The walk is roughly 1.5 miles long.
The trail consists of a range of different caches - from the regular sized to interesting disguised caches to suit all ages and all cachers. The trail is mainly on hard footpaths, however some of the trail is on grass footpaths so bear this in mind when selecting footwear. Be careful with small children around the lake, and beware of the miniature train!
