Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens

It might seem odd to include a Wildlife Park on a ‘Gardens & Walks’ page, but this one is well worth a visit for the stunning gardens alone and the Victorian Manor House at the heart of it. In particular the walled garden and the cleverly planted themed borders and seasonal displays make a beautiful backdrop to the animals and may well give you ideas you can take home. Stephen Lacey (Daily Telegraph) described the exotic planting in the Old Walled Garden as “amongst the best in Britain”.

Witney Lake & Country Park

This is a picturesque 37 hectare Country Park that is right next to the hotel, so don’t miss out on a lovely area to explore or take a walk before dinner. You can stroll around the Lake’s footpath, rambling through the tranquil landscape. Witney Lake offers a gateway to the Lower Windrush Valley where you can enjoy the abundant variety of plants and wildlife. You can also buy a fishing licence if you fancy some angling during your stay.
