newark park印象

We found this little place by chance - took our motorhome along the narrow road to it and the view is definitely "wow factor".The house is lovely - the appearance of being untouched and still has a "lived-in" feel, despite its quirkiness.Lovely grounds and the new drinks/ food chalet was welcome on a bright but cold March day.

We wanted our last snowdrop fix this season and thought of Newark Park, not having visited for many years. We saw swaths of snowdrops and eranthis all down the banks and a large clump of blue crocus. We has a bite to eat in the new pavilion then wandered around the house. It is a fascinating place with a Tudor East elevation and stained glass window. We were lucky and had a tour of the basement too, seeing the Tudor and Georgian kitchens, an old dank passage and the wine store. Nearly forgot to mention the stupendous views from the house and garden over the cotswold escarpment to the Severn vale beyond, then the hills in the distance Then back to the garden for another walk then a walk on the green trail into the woods and back around the lakeThe sun shon the whole time and we had a wonderful visit. We'll be back in the summer to take the longer walks. Finally a short drive to Wootton under Edge for tea and cakes. What a wonderful day!

Had a wonderful couple of hours here earlier today. Stunning scenery, and excellent walks over a manageable area of a few miles. The house is charming - stuffed full of eclectic antiques, and the National Trust volunteers were a vast source of enthusiastic knowledge. The whole trip was a delight.

We found Newark park easily but we used the brown signs once we found the first one and at that point switched off our sat nav! The surroundings are beautiful, from the point you drive in to the views from the house. There is plenty of car parking, it reminded us of Dyrham park. The facilities are much improved from when we last visited, there are toilets, and a little shop at the entrance with friendly staff. Entrance prices were reasonable Hot and cold food and drinks are available by the house too and there are many places to sit outside which you share with chickens and a peacock. There is also a room of tables and chairs with a fire just inside the house. The house is very homely and we were greeted by friendly staff. It is a quirky place with a unique assortment of items which can be attributed to various past tenants of the property. I just wish there was a consistent information leaflet in each room as it was all a bit random but then it did suit the nature of the property. And there were plenty of staff on hand to ask questions. We loved the Pinhole photography exhibition on the top floor, very atmospheric interpretations of the house and grounds. The grounds are beautiful, lovely walks to be had round to the folly, the lake and the estate. Next time we plan to go on a more extensive walk, there are plenty of grounds to explore. We plan on returning.

We took the free guided basement tour first - highly recommended as there have been so many interesting alterations. Very friendly informative staff. Beautiful lake walk - in snowdrops for us but there is obviously going to be a good display throughout the year.

Newark Park, a National Trust Site, is a fascinating House. It sits on the edge of the Cotswold Escarpment. As a result the views are outstanding. It was built in several phases the first of which was a Tutor Hunting lodge. Take your time in the house as its story is a very interesting one. Be sure and go below stairs. There are some beautiful gardens and a park walk that takes you down to the Lake and past a Folly. The peacocks that have the run of the grounds are a joy to watch.

I wasn't making enough use of my membership and this is local to me so decided to go for an explore with the dog and had a lovely walk down the carriage way and through the woods. We finished our half day out with coffee and cake from the brand new, opened that day, 15th Feb, with tea & cake in the grounds. Unusually, it wasn't raining. We will return on a wet afternoon to explore the hous.

I visited Newark Park on my way home from Devon and after struggling to find the correct road through Dursley as my navigation skills are terrible, it was simple to find by following the brown signs, though the road to it is very narrow and long. I visited on a fairly murky November day. Nevertheless I was still able to enjoy doing the Estate walks, taking in all the beautiful Autumn colours, and visiting the folly and lake and enjoying the splendid views. The house was interesting although it was a little spoilt for me by everything being draped in pretend cobwebs for Halloween.It is not one of the best NT sites i have visited with regard to facilities as toilets are portaloos, and presently there is only a small private tea wagon with limited choice although I can recommend the beefburger!! There will be a tea pavilion opening in the Spring.

Perfect for a day out for family, friends or a romantic stroll. Set in the most picturesque part of The Cotswolds, I highly recommend!

We got here quite accidentally as Dyrham Park was closed, and have rarely been happier.The children (4 & 2) were fascinated by the peacocks and hens strutting around. The grandparents had a game of croquet on the lawn. The garden and area are a beautiful surprise, looked after with care and love.Inside the house we were told you can sit on the chairs! A first in my NT experience. And there is dressing up. And a bell you can ring. And ring again.We will be back again. And again!
