Start your walk at Burghley Park Golf Club. The club opens at 2:30 PM on weekends, making this the perfect time to arrive before the afternoon crowds. Enter off the B1081, two miles south of town, and take in the 6,312-yard par 70 course set within the Capability Brown parkland.
15:15
Walk 12 minutes east-northeast from the golf club to Burghley Park. This spacious park offers a serene environment to stretch your legs and enjoy the open green spaces established in 1890. It is a quiet spot ideal for a mid-afternoon pause.
15:45
Continue your walk 26 minutes from the anchor to the Garden of Surprise. This garden provides a more enclosed, intimate setting compared to the open parkland. It is a peaceful end to your excursion, located in the same general direction as your previous stop.
