Ampthill Great Park

Ampthill Great Park has around 160 acres of parkland and woodland, with incredible views from the Greensand Ridge and an interesting history. Henry VIII hunted here and the parkland landscape we enjoy today was created by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the 18th century. It is also home to a variety of interesting wildlife and the park’s veteran trees, many planted by Capability Brown, some even older, are a valuable part of the park’s heritage. The park also has a good network of paths, a children’s play area and is the home to many of the town’s sports clubs, including tennis, cricket, football and angling.
