Visit to Sheffield Park
October 16
This National Trust garden is a horticultural work of art, formed through centuries of landscape design, with influences of Capability Brown and Humphry Repton. Four lakes form its heart, with paths circulating through the glades and wooded areas surrounding them. The vast collection of trees and large shrubs are planted to create vistas that enhance the feeling of scale and grandeur of the property. The oldest recorded living tree in the garden is an English oak dated to 1485.
Sheffield Wood has a mosaic of different habitats: conifer woods, broadleaf woods, coppice hornbeam, open rides and glades, all of which are vital for wildlife, including many species of insects such as bees, hoverflies and butterflies.
