Welcome to Danesbury Park.
Danesbury Park
Open all year
24.5 ha park and nature reserve located to the north of old Welwyn
Park Information
Danesbury is a historic parkland once linked to Danesbury House. It is now managed extensively using rare-breed cattle and occasional cutting. This kind of grassland is now rare in the county as a result of changes in farming practice, losses arising from development and management neglect.
Even with this, Danesbury still has a wide variety of flowering plants which support insects and, therefore, also birds.
Volunteers
The Friends of Danesbury Park is a very enthusiastic group which works on the nature reserve once a month throughout the year. They undertake a variety of tasks including care and maintenance of trees, scrub control and surveying of butterflies.
