GROUNDS AND GARDEN



Mellerstain offers wonderful lakeside and woodland walks. The map below shows you some of the highlights.


With more than 100 acres of parkland and ancient woodland to explore, you can certainly find a shady spot to enjoy a picnic in. Enjoy a delightful amble down through the wooded Glen to the beautiful picnic areas by the River Eden and walk round the lakeside beside the rushing weirs.


Favourite summer residents include the swallows, house martins and swifts while occasional bramblings, redstarts, flycatchers, garden warblers siskins and yellowhammers are all here for you to find. Shy roe deer may be glimpsed, or a bustling badger, as well as foxes and stoats. There are even otters and mink which love to play around the waterfall.
