Our Autumn Walks Open Day is a rare opportunity to explore the estate’s sweeping parkland\, ancient woodland\, gardens and hidden corners as the leaves turn to vibrant shades of gold\, russet\, and amber.    \nWander at your own pace along marked paths and woodland trails\, whether you’re a seasoned walker or simply looking for a peaceful escape\, the estate offers a beautiful backdrop for a day of exploration – you might walk to the lake\, search for ancient monuments\, marvel over the ancient oaks on the woodland trails\, or observe the gardens as the plants begin to retreat for winter.   \nThe autumn walks will be marked\, and maps will be available; routes will range from gentle strolls around the gardens to longer walks through the parkland to our longest route of 3.8 miles. Please note that this has been reduced from the planned 5-mile loop due to damage from Storm Amy. \nFor those who prefer to take a ride through the grounds in ‘style’\, our tractor-trailer will be running tours starting from the front of Boconnoc House.   \nBoconnoc House will be open and serving light refreshments\, including home-baked cakes\, sausage rolls\, soups and cream teas. Choose a table in the beautiful garden room or on the terrace.   \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \nHighlights of the Day   \nThe Deer Park   \nTake a tractor-trailer ride through Boconnoc’s Deer Park\, where herds have roamed since 1540\, and see if you can spot the deer hidden in the russet-toned ferns.

Boconnoc’s woodland is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).  \nAncient Monuments & Hidden History   \nThe estate’s monuments and historic features add layers of discovery as you walk through trails and paths\, look for the Georgian Bath House\, or ancient Cornish Crosses and Boconnoc’s Obelisk.   \nGardens\, Lakes & Parkland Trails   \nLose yourself in sweeping views\, explore Boconnoc Lake\, Pinetum and Shrubbery\, or wander winding paths through gardens planted in the picturesque style. The estate’s landscape is renowned for its vibrant rhododendrons\, camellias\, and magnolias in the milder months\, but comes alive with Autumn colours with the change of season.   \nFamily-Friendly and Accessible Walks   \nWe have wide open spaces for children to run in\, secret corners for hide and seek and shorter\, easy routes for little legs\, or buggies.
