The gardens and parkland that you see today at Burghley were largely designed by Lancelot ?Capability? Brown in the 18th century. Today, sweeping vistas down to the spires of Stamford with the backdrop of the House create the perfect canvas for open air classical concerts, wedding receptions, events or just a quiet stroll with the dog.
The park is open all year round from 8am to 8pm or dusk if earlier, and admission is free to all (please note the park may be closed occasionally for events or deer management). There is a partial park closure during the build up and break down of the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials.
Dogs are allowed in the park as long as they are kept on a lead to protect the deer herd. Please note dogs are not allowed in the gardens.
