Cranford Country Park

Please note: Work will begin on the Cranford Park restoration project on Monday 9 May and continue until spring 2023. During this time, the access road and bridge will be closed and the car park and courtyard area inaccessible. See diversion map (PDF) [1MB]. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

This 144 acre (58 hectares) park still features a number of historical relics including a walled garden, icehouse, a restored 18th century stable block and the medieval St Dunstan's Church and graveyard which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is known for the ghost of the Grey Lady who is said to haunt the park.

The park offers visitors an opportunity to explore attractive parkland and woodland along the River Crane. Facilities include a car park, children's playground, an orienteering course and nature trails. (Toilets and information centre are temporarily unavailable.)

The natural areas in the park include woodlands, wildflower meadows and wetlands that comprise of marshland, ditches and ponds. The River Crane also flows through the park.
