Walk seven minutes from The mud house to Benton Park. Stroll the grounds while the air is still and the light is soft. The park is open until 22:00, but mornings are the best time to enjoy the space without crowds.

Head seven minutes ENE from the park to Benton Park Cafe. It is a convenient stop to sit, reflect, or enjoy a light meal as the day fully begins.
