The NWR Walk

Members from several groups local to Peterborough had a lovely walk 

through the grounds of Burghley House https://burghley.co.uk/ on 

Wednesday. It was lovely. We were very lucky with the weather and 11 of 

us enjoyed the beautiful parkland.

Connections were made! Clare from the Peterborough group had kindly 

organised the walk and had invited several local groups to join them. 

There were 6 of us from Deepings, 4 from Peterborough and 1 from Bourne 

group.

Clare shared with us lots of interesting information and sights along 

the walk, including parkland plans from designer-extraordinaire 

Capability Brown and many other developments since then. Those of us who 

are regular visitors to the park had never seen or noticed many of these 

before which made it all the more fascinating.

Some enjoyed the 3 mile longer walk and others preferred the shorter 

stroll, all meeting up at the Orangery where delicious cakes and very 

welcome drinks were enjoyed.

Thank you Clare and here’s to more such group collaborations 🙂
