Explore Hardwick’s parkland and woodlands with our Ranger team, finding out about the conservation work being done to protect nature and encourage wildlife.
These small group walks are a fantastic opportunity to hear about the diverse range of jobs the Rangers do to manage Hardwick’s 2500- acre estate.
Why not join us monthly to enjoy the seasonal changes across the estate, from butterfly spotting in the summer to autumnal fungi.
Meeting Point: Visitor Reception Building
Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing and shoes.
This tour will include walking around the Hardwick Estate over grass and rough ground, which may not be accessible to wheelchair users.
The tour will last approximately two hours.
