The Brandon Park Estate was built by Edward Bliss from 1820 and was originally heath land. Bliss was a tree
enthusiast and 6 million trees from around the world were planted on this 1,800 acre estate which is still a haven for wildlife. Much of the original estate remains today and now includes a visitor centre, tea room, trails and regular events. Brandon Park House is a Grade II listed Regency Mansion which is now a private nursing home.
