United Kingdom
Catch the massive yew hedges outlined in frost, wander along the icy lakeside with massive bull rushes and winter geese. The gnarled ancient trees reveal their labyrinth tangled branches, some arching along the grass perfect for games of hide and seek. Walk the paths lined in clipped formal hedging and pop into the temple or the orangery to shelter and admire the views. If you feel energetic walk to the Gothic and spooky pyramid mausoleum and explore the surrounding winter woodland trails by foot or hire bikes. Plenty of choices to warm up afterwards in the cafe or The Bucks pub next door.
