Woodland Walks
Tractor-tyre snowmen, plant-pot elves and a frosty walk among Hatfield’s ancient oaks!
Snowmen, elves and a royal oak
This Christmas, discover a festive walk through our historic woodland, where a surprise awaits around every corner. Our Park and Gardens Team has crafted a collection of festive displays entirely from recycled materials. How many tractor-tyre snowmen, plant-pot elves and other cheerful characters can you find?
For those wishing to wander further, two additional walks lead past some of our ancient trees, including the site of the famous oak where, in 1558, the young Princess Elizabeth is said to have learned she was to become Queen Elizabeth I.
