Walk up to Prior Park. The garden is designed to be viewed from the top, offering a sweeping view of the landscape. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the lawn or near the Palladian Bridge.

Stand at the edge of the Prior Park Landscape Garden and watch the sunrise. The sun rises in the east, casting long shadows across the Capabilility Brown-designed grounds. The golden light begins to hit the landscape around 15:33, but the initial sunrise at 08:07 is the key moment.

Head down to The Colombian Company Limited for a proper breakfast or coffee. It is open from 09:00 on Sundays, which aligns with the sunrise time on 15 January 2027. Enjoy a warm drink and pastry to start your day.
Local tip
