Clumber Park

One of the most beautiful historical sites in Nottinghamshire is Clumber Park. It is located in Dukeries, a region of Nottinghamshire, England, close to Worksop. The National Trust bought the estate, which served as the residence of the Pelham-Clintons, Dukes of Newcastle, in 1946. On the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, it is classified as Grade I.

In 1938, the main house was destroyed because of damage from numerous fires. A four-acre walled kitchen garden and the adjoining Gothic Revival chapel, both designated on Grade I, are still standing. The National Trust, which oversees the estate and grounds, welcomes visitors all year long.

Clumber, which was a monastic property throughout the Middle Ages and was listed in the Domesday Book, eventually passed into the ownership of the Holles family. John Holles, the 4th Earl of Clare, the 3rd Earl of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the 1st Duke of Newcastle enclosed it as a deer park in 1709. In the middle of the park, near to the River Poulter, Clumber House was converted into a hunting lodge.
