Geocache Description:


Houghton Hall Park is an area of historic parkland situated to the south east of Houghton Regis between the town centre and the outskirts of Dunstable. The park is easily accessible on foot from Houghton Regis or by car and is open to the public at all times.

The site’s car park can be found off Park Road North. At N51 54.090 W000 30.553.

At approximately 17.5 ha, Houghton Hall Park consists of open grassland with widely spaced mature trees. The park was once a private estate to Houghton Hall, a Grade II listed building that adjoins it, and still retains many features associated with the former parkland.

Houghton Hall was built in 1700 and was home to the Brandreth family until 1908, when the house was sold to Lt. Col. Sir Dealtry Part. In the 1960s the property was sold off and much of the surrounding land became fragmented. The habitat is believed to have been widespread in lowland landscapes through the medieval period and up to the early nineteenth century.
