I’m working with My Voucher Codes and the National Trust promoting great family days out in Nottingham.
A Family Day Out In Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire.
Collaboration with My Voucher Codes and the National Trust.
Happy Saturday. I hope you’re having a lovely weekend?
Today I have teamed up with My Voucher Codes; who have some great money saving offers and The National Trust to share one of our favourite days out as a family in Nottinghamshire.
We love to visit Clumber Park it is not too far from home and is a lovely day out for all the family. We like fresh air and open spaces, so the nearly 4000 acres of land in North Nottinghamshire is perfect!
As many of my regular blog readers will know there are a few things we do in our house every day. A daily jog, walking the dog, taking a nice photo, and eating some tasty food!! A day out in Clumber Park we can roll it all into a fun packed day.
Start with a run, a nice walk around the garden tea house, picnic on the grass and a walk around the lake. We do not have to worry how long we are out as Mollie our beautiful Collie dog can fit her daily fun in too. Perfect.
A Family Day Out In Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire:
Run To Explore:
We are a family of runners {or joggers in mine and my Hubbys case!!}. We love going places where we can get off the road, out into the countryside and pop our running trainers on.
Clumber Park is an ideal place for running. Loads of paths to explore in a refreshing countryside setting.
You can run for miles here. Every time we come we seem to find a different path to explore. A great way of discovering the secrets of Clumber. Cycling is also popular here(Route 6 of the National Cycle Route), or just traditional walking, it is all exhilarating!
We keep meaning to run the Lake loop but we always get distracted. maybe next time!! Why not run around the lake loop if you visit? It is around 3.67 miles. Roughly!
Hire A Bike:
If you want to see things quicker and are not a fan of running, you can hire a bike in Clumber Park. I joked with the Hubby about coming back on our own for the day and hiring a Tandem.
What did he say to that ??
You decide!!
A. That would be fun B. Maybe or C. No chance in hell
Oh well, we can not all be good at everything 😉

Now what to do next!?
Walled kitchen Gardens? Garden Tea House?
Garden Tea House:
It looked lovely inside and around the Garden Tea House. They sell a selection of homemade dishes and sweet treats. You can eat inside or outside in the garden. When we were looking around Mollie melted the heart of one of the people who worked here and she rushed off to find Mollie a nice treat.
Walled Kitchen Gardens:
Anyone who reads my blog will know how much I love flowers and taking photos of them. This place is beautiful. So many pretty flowers here. As you can imagine, I have so many photos to share from here. I have picked out a selection of my favourites and I will be sharing the rest next week.
Inside The Giant Conservatory:
Outside In The Walled Kitchen Gardens:
Next up a walk around the big lake and a visit to the bridge.
Clumber Bridge:
A view of the bridge at Clumber park above and from the bridge below.
Clumber Grotto:
On the way back we stumbled upon Clumber Grotto. This was where the water pump was situated. In Victorian days upwards of 500 people lived on the Clumber estate. All needing a good supply of water. Amazingly the machinery is still in place and at times of power failure could still provide an ample water supply. Amazing.
Around The Lake:
I lived even nearer than I do now to Clumber Park when I was growing up. As we have started coming here these past few years, all the memories I had long forgotten have come flooding back.
Playing with my cousins, hiding in the trees, a time of simple innocence and fun.
Hopefully, my Children will have their own fond memories of their time here. With the cameras, we all have nowadays and things like blogs etc. It is so easy to create a lasting memory of any special events in our lives.
How cool would it have been if all of the things we got up to as kids were recorded for posterity?
Although I don’t think I would want my kids seeing all the sweets I ate, or how late I stayed up, or how messy my room was. On second thoughts!!

I haven't been to Clumber in years. But I remember going loads at a child. It was so close to home that there were many afternoon walks there. Live too far away to visit very often these days
Author
Oh wow Claire, just like me. I wonder if we lived near each other as children 🙂
Clumber Park looks great! We've never been – it's a bit too far for us (we're S London) – but I'll bear it in mind as one of my stops on the way home type places – lots of fresh air and the bicycles appeal to me! #countrykids
Author
Thank you Jo, it is great for riding your bikes around here 🙂
I can see why you love Clumber Park so much, there really is something for you all. I can see my kids loving a day like this too, it really is perfect for older kids and I love that you all go running. I don't think I'd ever see Farmer Nick running but me and the kids would love it. It looks so pretty too and your photos from the gardens are beautiful. I want to visit! Thank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
Author
Aww, thank you Fiona 🙂 Thanks for hosting and stopping by too.
Your pictures are beautiful! I love the pic of the birds taking flight. I don't think my hubby would go for a family run, but my son would. When we can manage to fit it in, scuba diving is our family activity. Thanks for sharing your fun filled day. #CountryKids
Author
Thanks Keitha, I was really pleased with my birds flying photo 🙂
Lovely photos. I never visited Clumber Park, even though we lived in Nottingham for five years. I did work in McDonalds in Clumber Street though!I'm guessing your hubby went for option C with the tandem!Love that your family combine running with a day out.
Author
Oh wow Sarah. You would love it running through here 🙂 Hehe, I would love to ride a bicycle made for 2!

Aww I love it at Clumber Park – my husband used to go every year growing up, so he introduced me to it. We've been for walks, picnics and bike rides there, it's so pretty 🙂

Oops sorry, am trying again ….What a beautiful bridge! I'm not a runner but I'd love to cycle around there. Especially with the option of a cup of tea afterwards!

That looks a lovely place to visit, we are National Trust members and there are so many great places to visit
Author
Thanks Stephanie. It is great getting outdoors with the children isn't it 🙂
I would probably be more up for the biking than the running, but this looks like a really beautiful area to explore either way x
Author
Thanks, they have lots of bikes for hire 🙂

Hi Claire, lovely photos as ever. I didn't manage to get one decent photo of a bumble bee this summer and there you have one with two bumblers in! Clumber Park sounds like a fab family day out and I love that Mollie The Collie was welcome too. It is amazing that something made in Victorian times can still work so well, it shows how things were made to last back then.Thank you for linking up with the #MMBC.xx
Author
Aww, thank you Debbie. I love taking photos of bumble bees. I was really pleased with 2 at once 🙂
That does look a fabulous place and as a runner I would want to get round the lake!
Author
Ha! I know I need to do this course too.
We're massive National Trust fans but haven't visited this property! It looks amazing and love the wildlife around the lake! #CountryKids
Author
Thanks. It is well worth a visit if you can 🙂
Clumber Park looks like a wonderful place for a day out. It's always lovely when there are so many different paths to explore when going for a run. Love the photo of the bee on the flowers 🙂 #countrykids
Author
Thank you Louise. So many fun things to see here 🙂
I am actually going to Nottingham next week to see family. I think this would make a perfect day out for Leanora and I.
Author

Awww, what a lovely day out! I love thatched roofs, they are so quaint! I'm glad you all had a lovely time!
Author
