By Stormy the Dog
I visited Sheffield Park in Danehill with my family and some friends with their dog Noodles.
We hadn’t met each other before so we sniffed bums to say Hello.
Unfortunately we had to stay on our leads so I couldn’t get anywhere quick enough and there was a lot of sniffing to be done and many ducks to chase.
We had a very long walk around the Park (even though I wanted to run.)
It looks beautiful at this time of the year with all the autumnal colours coming out; lots of vibrant reds, oranges and yellows, and lots of fungi too.
The humans stopped for a picnic, then we had another walk.
There are many different trees and lakes to see, and you can spot the old house, which has been turned into flats.
Being National Trust, it’s very dog friendly with drinking water available.
There is a photo opportunity near the entrance.
I was given a Pooch Passport which gets a stamp every time we visit a National Trust property.
I’ll get some free treats when Mum collects all the stamps.
Sheffield Park is well worth a visit with your family and friends.
Famous for its autumn colour, this is the season the garden was planted for. Arthur Soames, owner during the early 20th century, introduced many of the species which create this spectacle including Nyssa, Acer and Taxodiums. The reflections in the lakes add to the splendour and provide the perfect photograph. The autumn planting is recognised as being of international importance; so much so that the garden has received a Grade I listing.
