Woodchester Park

About this park

Woodchester Park is a truly enchanting spot in Gloucestershire, offering delightful walks for you and your four-legged friend. This National Trust gem boasts a stunning valley estate with woodlands, lakes, and the intriguing unfinished Victorian mansion at its heart. You'll find yourself immersed in nature, with ancient trees, vibrant wildlife, and plenty of picturesque views to enjoy as you wander through the well-maintained paths. While dogs are very welcome at Woodchester Park, it's important to keep them on a lead at all times. This is especially crucial due to the presence of livestock grazing in certain areas and to protect the diverse wildlife that calls the park home. The terrain can be quite varied, with some steep and uneven sections, so sturdy walking shoes or boots are definitely recommended for both you and your canine companion. The park offers a wonderful sense of tranquility, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. For your convenience, there are two car parks available: Buckholt and Tinkley Gate. Tinkley Gate car park has a lovely cafe where you can grab a cuppa and a snack, and also provides toilet facilities. Parking is pay and display, costing £4, but it's free for National Trust members – just remember to register your card! The postcode for Tinkley Gate is GL10 3UH, but do check the National Trust website for detailed directions as satellite navigation can sometimes be a bit tricky in this area. It's advisable to visit the National Trust website before your trip to check opening times and any specific advisories.
