Wandlebury Country Park
Explore woodland trails, historic landmarks, and family-friendly activities in Wandlebury Country Park
Wandlebury Country Park
Located on top of the Gog Magog Hills, explore 150 acres of beautiful parkland with woods, meadows and views. There’s also an Iron Age Hill Fort and 18th century country estate, with a walled garden, orchard and ponds.
Enjoy a picnic or pop-up café, go for a long walk or short stroll, build a den or run around, appreciate peace and nature or take part in an activity, hire the paddocks or a BBQ to celebrate a special day.
Wandlebury is owned and cared for by local charity Cambridge Past, Present & Future who saved it from development in 1954, thanks to the generosity of Terence Gray and the people of Cambridge. We still need to raise significant funds each year to keep the park open for visitors and to care for nature and historic buildings.
