The Chapel is actually the third at Clumber Park. The first, inside the house, was destroyed by fire. The second, started by the 6th Duke of Newcastle, was abandoned after his death, apparently because it was structurally unsound. The third, however, eclipsed all earlier attempts, and today towers over the Pleasure Grounds.  St Mary's took three years to build, and opened in 1889 for the 7th Duke, This impressive ‘cathedral in miniature’ certainly lives up to its nickname, being a similar size to most parish churches, yet commissioned only to serve the Duke and his small family. Those who lived and worked on the estate were also invited to attend services here.

St. Mary the Virgin Church, located in Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, England, is a Grade I listed Anglican church. Built between 1886 and 1889 by George Frederick Bodley for the 7th Duke of Newcastle, it's a stunning example of Victorian Gothic architecture. The church, now under the care of the National Trust, features a striking 180-foot spire and is a popular attraction within the park. While a chapel existed on the site earlier, the current structure replaced it and stands as a testament to the Duke's legacy.

Langold Country Park was originally planned as a country house and park in the 18th century. The idea was revived in 1818 and although the house was never completed. By the 1890s a lake had been excavated and a weir with a single arch bridge had been constructed. During the early 20th century the area was developed for mining and the park became a leisure facility for the Langold miners, principally for fishing. In 1946 the coal mining industry was nationalised and the National Coal Board expanded the leisure facilities in the park. A lido or swimming pool was rebuilt in the early 1950s and a bandstand was added. In 1968 the mine closed and the park was taken over by the local authority. Mining equipment was moved and children's playgrounds and refreshment facilities were added.

Sandy base can get boggy, great little downhill when dry.

Covering 300 acres of parkland and a Local Nature Reserve, the park links into Dyscarr Wood, a Site of Special Scientific Interest recognised as one of the best examples of a limestone ash-wych elm wood in Nottinghamshire. The park itself has woodlands, wildlife and butterfly meadows, grassy area, a lake, play areas, cafe and skate park, making it a great year-round day trip for all.

Dating from 1772, it supplied the sorts of exotic and unusual foods that the Dukes could impress their guests with. From asparagus to pineapples and strawberries at Christmas, this was an elite garden for an elite family. In its prime, the gardens would have provided employment for 30 people and had 6-acres under cultivation including a huge, heated Melon Yard and an orchard, which was re-established just outside the garden walls in 2021. At 451 feet, Clumber Park boasts the longest Glasshouse in National Trust care. It was installed by the 7th Duke of Newcastle and completed in 1910. By the 1970s it was derelict but the Trust has spent decades restoring it, most recently in 2023. Today, it boasts seasonal displays in its huge conservatory, an exotically planted Palm House and bays of grapes, figs, and peaches. Some of the utility rooms now serve as a museum displaying an extensive collection of gardening tools. The Apple Store and the Gardener's Mess have ever-changing displays.

Not much elevation around Clumber, but this section of the Robin Hood way through woodland is enjoyable on a MTB especially in the winter. Plenty of natural forest floor (rather than hardpack gravel) which gets a bit muddy & cut-up.
