Go behind the scenes into the private parkland that surrounds Haddon Hall and see the beautiful acres of Haddon Mediaeval Park, which is the oldest and biggest rewilding project in the Peak District. The trees are the most important part of this old landscape. In the Middle Ages, they would have been very important for getting wood for building and heating and cooking. There are more than 40 different kinds of plants and animals here, and each one is home to a lot of birds, small animals, insects, fungi, and lichen.

We’re happy to have Jason Ingamells FRGS back this year to lead two Trees Walks in Haddon Mediaeval Park. Jason has led wildlife expeditions in the UK and around the world for more than 20 years. He has worked with the BBC, the Royal Geographical Society, the Eden Project, and the National Forest. He loves the countryside and loves sharing what he knows with others. Jason will take you on a 2- to 3-hour walk through the Mediaeval Park’s different woodland areas, where you can look at and take pictures of Haddon’s trees and the animals that live there.

This event is suitable for everyone over the age of 16 with a reasonable level of fitness.

Your ticket includes a complimentary tea, coffee or soft drink in our restaurant after the walk, as well as half-price admission to Haddon Hall and its beautiful gardens on the same day.

Haddon Hall is a privately-owned estate, and one of the only houses in England to have remained in one family’s ownership for its entire existence. Your support enables us to protect the buildings and precious landscape here for the future.
