The beautiful gardens of Stockwood Park in Luton offer much in a wonderful summer display of wild and cultivated flowers and shrubs. The old manor house built in 1740 has long since gone, and the extensive acres are now home to Luton’s ‘Discovery Centre’ , ‘The Mossman Collection’ of fine horse drawn carriages, and an excellent ‘Park Cafe’… The gardens and grounds are a perfect place to soak up the tranquillity of this experience, and tucked away in a secret place is a statue walk. The park also offers a riding school and golf course, and some of the oldest and tallest trees in Bedfordshire can be found here, offering a welcome shade to the many hundreds of visitors in the summer sunshine.
