This is a nice place to go for a short walk especially in winter time. Parking is free which is a bonus. There is a nice little cafe in the park, a bit pricey for what it is.

The water gardens were particularly relaxing as it was so quiet when I arrived. Good to go early just when they open and mid-week if you can. I was able to get lots of nice photographs because there were so few people there at that time. The sculpture gardens are very interesting with something unusual hiding around every tree or... More

We come here at least twice a month at weekends to have a lovely walk with the dog. Dogs must be kept on the lead which is reassuring if you have little children with you.There is a herd of deer and sheep walking around.

loved the park and the natural surrounding, a real highlight of Burghley is not just the house but it's sculpture garden curated by artist Michael Shaw. The exhibition takes place every year in April until November. It's definitely a great opportunity to see good art surrounded by nature or the other way around: see nature surrounded by art!
