Walk Description:
A beautiful walk from Pamphill. Around 5 miles with the option to return after 3 miles.
A 2.5 hour walk'
Come with me on a walk from Pamphill to the church built for the Bankes family in 1907, along some less travelled paths to Kingston Lacy parklands. There is a short section on a narrow path near the main road.
We will explore this beautiful parkland of magnificent trees and borders. Along the way we pass through the Lime tree avenue and arrive at the top of the Japanese garden for an ariel view before visiting the kitchen gardens. There are glimpses of Kingston Lacy House in the distance. This was the home of the Bankes family and is built in the Italianate style. As part of the Sakura Cherry Tree project 2021 cherry trees were gifted to the National Trust as a gesture of friendship between Japan and the UK.
After a short road section, our route takes us on ancient paths to Cowgrove, along the river to Eye Bridge and back up to Pamphill. There are 5 stiles and one short hilly section. One section has long grass.
(For anyone wanting to join for the Kingston Lacy parklands only, it is easy to simply return along the lane, up a short hill to Pamphill. This is a 3 mile loop.)
There are toilets at the Kitchen gardens and also at Pamphill dairy.
There is a cafe/farmshop/butchers/gift shop and other stores as well.
Today is a free entry to Kingston Lacy gardens by the NT.
