Lord Savile's Kitchen - Ollerton

The restrooms were closed for maintenance, but we had a pleasant time walking and relaxing in the beautiful park. There are plenty of well-maintained picnic tables, perfect for bringing your tea and sandwiches to enjoy a lovely day like we did. Additionally, there's a playground for children. Parking costs £5 for the day. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This is a lovely place to explore, with various paths to choose from—some meander through the forests, while others circle the lake. There are vibrant gardens, a garden center, a fun playground for kids, sculptures, and cafes to enjoy. Visitors can try their hand at archery or take a boat out on the water, or simply enjoy a leisurely walk while soaking in the surroundings. The highlight for me was the cheese and fluffy pastry from the café near the mill; it was the best I’ve ever tasted!

After exploring places in nottinghamshire, I found rufford abbey, just a short 30min drive from nottingham. it was fantastic. really beautiful gardens and country house, enjoyed being in nature and exploring somewhere new. it is a huge place and you could just spend the day here. eating was good and very reasonable. I loved it!

Really beautiful gardens, lots of space, beautiful ruins to foot, a beautiful lake, even dogs loud, what more could they want if it is all free, the mill parking machines were out of order, as well as, bonus.

Rufford Abbey Park is a wonderful place to.visit. We often meet friends family here . Wonderful parkland and lakes. Cafe and restaurant are excellent. Child and family orientated with good disabled facilities too. The little Garden centre is packed full of goodies very reasonable prices lots to choice . The shops are great lots of gifts choices and Rose Garden little tea room area is quaint within the shop area
