Led by David, a knowledgeable volunteer historian, this guided walk will take you through the northern section of the park. Along the way, David will share the fascinating story of the family who once called this place home, including the significant events that shaped their legacy. This walk holds special relevance this weekend as it marks the birthdays of Julian Grenfell and Gerald Grenfell, the two eldest sons of Lady Desborough, the last family member to reside at Panshanger.
The walk begins at the site of the former Panshanger House, where you’ll be able to imagine the grandeur of the estate in its heyday. From there, you’ll take in the stunning views across Repton’s Broadwater as you stroll along the south terrace, following the same path once walked by notable visitors. You’ll also explore the Dairy Garden and visit the Orangery, before concluding at the iconic Panshanger Great Oak, a landmark that has been visited by royalty, ambassadors, prime ministers, celebrities, and even film crews.
