Hale Park has extensive grounds and an eye-catching Grade I listed house with Corinthian columns and a rather grand air to it. Built by Thomas Archer in the early 1700s on the site of a former Elizabethan mansion, the house and grounds remain private today.

However, a footpath (the Avon Valley Path trail) cuts through the estate, down the fantastic avenue and around the side of the house. On this path, you’ll also pass by the medieval parish church which lies in the grounds.
