Sightseeing
The 3,000-acre woodland and pasture park is open all year, with a perimeter hedge (claimed to be the largest in the world) planted in the 1720s. Stephen Switzer may have advised on the original plan, and Alexander Pope invested money in the planting, but Lord Bathurst was the park's inspiration. The forest is transected by a goose-foot of avenues inspired by baroque geometry.
