Overview

A springtime stroll around the Cliveden estate.  We'll head up the Green Drive to the Water Garden.  After a stop for coffee at the Conservatory Cafe, we'll continue through the Long Garden to the Amphitheatre, across the Parterre and down to Spring Cottage, the riverside lovenest at the centre of the Profumo scandal.  

Toilets are available 10 minutes into the walk and at the halfway point.

No dogs please, as our route takes us through gardens where they're not allowed.

Paths around the estate could still be muddy, so boots are recommended.
