Reason #4 Positive Wellbeing
Take time for yourself and reconnect with nature, and turn off from the stress and uncertainty that the last 12 months has brought us. COVID has challenged us all and tested our mental health, happiness and wellbeing.
Our gardens and nature reserve offer you a place to unwind and be mindful of your surroundings, carefully taking in the sounds, sights and aromas, which are all particularly abundant at this time of year.

The team here at Pensthorpe and Pensthorpe Conservation Trust are deeply saddened by the news of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing.
Bill and Deb Jordan fondly recall memories of His Royal Highness, after having had a proud association with him as the Patron of Pensthorpe Conservation Trust for over 30 years. Bill Jordan looks back at Pensthorpe’s 20th Anniversary, attended by Prince Phillip, recollecting His Royal Highness talking about what a great pleasure it was to revisit a reserve he had officially opened 20 years before, in 1988, and noted that the landscape and the wildlife was still thriving.
These photographs show His Royal Highness at the official opening of Pensthorpe in 1988, as well as his return visit to us in 2008, for our 20th Anniversary, alongside Bill Jordan and the late, great professor David Bellamy OBE, who was honorary Vice-President of Pensthorpe Conservation Trust from 2016.
As a passionate conservationist and outdoor enthusiast, he will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with Her Majesty The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family during this difficult time.
Reason #5 Natural play
We are strong advocates for natural play in the great outdoors. That is why, as you venture around every acre of the park, you will discover a wide range of natural play equipment for all ages to enjoy. We are also delighted to be opening up a NEW area for you to explore and discover, tucked between the Millennium Garden and our Wetland Discovery Area. You can scramble up to this area with the help of a rope or climb the steps – either way you will be rewarded with stunning views across the park.

Reason #6 A change of scenery
The natural beauty of our park lends itself to a realm of mesmerising views – a welcome change from our own back gardens! Our Wader Scrape is a firm favourite for bird enthusiasts, whilst other visitors find tranquillity within spots such as our Millennium Garden. Very soon you can all leave your homes and appreciate the landscapes that you have missed!

Congratulations to Deborah, who is the lucky winner of our virtual Easter Eggsplorers Competition 2021!
We decided to make it a little more difficult this year as we wanted you to explore our new online ‘Species Library’, which was launched last week. As our clue suggested on Sunday, this duck has a ‘Chinese influence’… So, did you guess where it was?
Our pink Easter chick was hidden within the fact file page of the handsome Mandarin Duck.
A big thank you to those of you who took part in our Easter competition. We know it was a tricky one!
