Descrizione

The site has woodland areas comprising mainly of Oak (Quercus), Birch (Betula), Scots Pine (Pinus) and good areas of scrubland, areas of open grassland, an area of heathland (called South Lawn) and at it's centre are lakes and reedbeds.

Clumber was first mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, the main house has been damaged by fire numerous times throughout history and was eventually demolished in 1938, the National Trust has managed the site since 1946. The park has the longest tree avenue of it's kind in Europe, called Lime Tree (Tilia cordata) Avenue, it is 2 miles long and comprises of over 1,200 trees mostly planted in 1840. It is one of the top ten National Trust most visited sites in the country with over 500,000 visitors annually. Therefore an early morning visit is advised especially in Summer. In quieter parts of the park you can find Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) and Fallow Deer (Dama dama), also BE AWARE livestock are present on site.
