Introduction

The country park associated with Dean Castle was created from the remnants of the designed landscape, probably originally laid out in the 17th century. It covers over 80 hectares and consists largely of mixed woodland. There is also a disused walled garden. The site has been developed with country park facilities such as a visitor centre, adventure playground and riding school.
