Introduction
The house, park and gardens at Nannau are set within a high-altitude romantic landscape. The remains of an extensive late-18th-century landscape park survive with an earlier walled deer park and fragments of ancient woodland. There is an extensive system of paths and rides in the park and a scenic walk, known as the Precipice Walk. This walk is open to the public for most of the year. There are also walled kitchen gardens and ponds.
