Sheringham Park – Tumuli Walk
National Trust, Wood Farm, Lodge Hill, Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, NR26 8TL
Join our Assistant Ranger Rupert Eris as he takes you on a walk through the estate to this is a rare and complex feature, comprising a Neolithic oval barrow with a Bronze Age round barrow constructed on top of it. Both the Neolithic oval barrow and later Bronze Age barrow would likely have been visually important in their ancient landscape contexts but today they are surrounded by woodland. In fact, we think a previous landowner may have planted a decorative scheme of Holm oak around the mound, while later forestry plantings of Scots pine across it have been gradually removed as part of our conservation work.
