2nd February 2013 - Rufford Abbey Country Park.

Within 150 acress of historic parkland sits Rufford Mill, Rufford lake and Rufford Abbey.

Wicker artwork can be found in the park.

The present day park once formed part of a 12th century Cistercian abbey and its estate. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, the land and buildings began a slow transformation into a country house estate, owned first by the Talbot and later the Savile families.

This is the abbey refectory.

Today the park is managed by Nottinghamshire County Council.
