Burton Park walk on 1st April 2024

Jay and Lindsey had organized the walkers to convene at the Cricketers to place their food orders before heading off. 

The first stop was Duncton Mill Fishery and its 4 fishing lakes. The nursery lake was stocked with Trout and recent scrub clearance gave us a good view of the old water wheel. From the fishery we headed up to Fountain Copse and made our way to Burton Park with its 19th century Greek inspired country house and Norman church. Burton Park Estate, which dates from the 13th Century and the Grade 1 listed mansion has a chequered history. Once home to a Baronet, then an MP, it became an Army Camp, a girls school, a police dog-training centre and is now split into flats. Then it was onwards to Burton Mill and Burton Mill pond where we stopped for coffee before completing a loop of the pond and heading back via the West Sussex Literary Trail to the Cricketers where we enjoyed a nice lunch.
