Meeting Point: Meet in the Stableyard at Ilam Park, DE6 2AZ.
Grid ref: SK131506.
Info: Meet our Lead Ranger Adam in the stableyard to experience Ilam Park at its most magical as the first light of day breaks over the valley.
We’ll set off at 6am for a gentle, unhurried walk through the park’s woodlands and riverside paths, pausing to enjoy the rising swell of birdsong that fills the early‑morning air.
After our gentle three‑hour stroll, we’ll finish at 9am in the Ilam Park tearoom, where a complimentary breakfast roll (bacon, sausage, egg or vegan sausage available) will be waiting for you to round off the morning perfectly.
There is no entry fee for Ilam Park, only a charge for car parking for non members.
