A delightful stroll in little known park. Maybe stock grazing so be aware if you have your canine friend. We were lucky and Charlie dog enjoyed roaming. Parking co-ordinates : N 50° 49.478 W 004° 15.062 Strictly speaking this is bit close to cache we had placed before finding this : the site of the house so we felt this had to be brought to peoples attention . We were gutted at nothing left of the House.

The site of Dunsland House Dunsland House, Tudor in origin, stood on this site for hundreds of years. It passed through seven families, before it was bought by the National Trust in 1954.

Wildlife : The trees in Dunsland park support many rare lichens and provide a rich habitat for wildlife. Colourful Blue Bells and Primroses can be seen in spring and you may hear the rustle of Doormice and Roe Deer. Look out for Dippers and Sparrow Hawks too.
