Day 43 - Clumber Park, Worksop

We left Berwick this morning, for the 200 mile trip to Clumber Park, in this final leg of our journey down the A1 took longer than we expected due to the various road works. Unfortunately their is no mobile signal and WiFi is very limited. For the first time there are children on the campsite, bringing the forest setting to life, we will see pitching  by the children's playground was a good idea!

Clumber Park was once part of Sherwood Forest until the Duke of Newcastle enclosed the estate as a hunting park for Queen Anne in 1707. It still retains features  to its grand past, although Clumber House was demolished in 1938. When Clumber was still the seat of the Dukes of Newcastle, there were upwards of 30 gardeners employed on the Estate, which today is owned by the National Trust.

I regret no photos, but will see what we can do tomorrow, but I leave you with a photo of a Berwick sunset.
