Hiking

Fort Henry is a gothic folly, sitting beside a large lake often adorned with water lilies in the heart of Exton Park.

Built in 1788 for Henry, Earl of Gainsborough, Fort Henry is located on private grounds, as are the shores of the larger, Northern lake. The public footpath circumnavigates the smaller lake to the South.
