Rhododendron

In 1968 an area of 142 hectares (350 acres) of The Queen's private Estate at Sandringham was designated a Country Park. It has been enlarged since then so that today nearly 243 hectares (600 acres) are available for visitors to enjoy.

 

The Park is open every day, there is no charge for entry and parking is also free. There are two waymarked Nature Trails, one 1½ miles long and the other 2½ miles long, and there are many other woodland paths to explore. Alternatively, tractor and trailor tours run daily during the open season offering, for a small charge, an easy way to see the Park.

 

The Country Park is planted with a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees, mainly Corsican and Scots pine mixed with oak, sweet chestnut and birch, and supports an abundance of animals, birds and plants.
