The park was originally owned by the Beaumont family, but would later become a part of Bretton Hall College. It was here that art lecturer Peter Murray had the idea of opening the space up to the public and asked artists to create works that\u00a0 engaged with the natural surroundings.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Recent artists that have exhibited include Damien Hirst, Joana Vasconcelos and Alfredo Jaar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The grounds of this cistercian abbey ruin make for a wonderfully atmospheric walk. You can walk around the water gardens and along riverside paths to the deer park, home to red, fallow and sika deer. There are many ancient trees within the deer park such as sweet chestnut, limes and oak. As well as the riverside walk, the extensive parklands are covered in footpaths and trails, suitable for all ages and abilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
