Whirlow Brook Park

Discover the story of Whirlow Brook Park, its origins and the people who made it what it is today. Learn about Percy Fawcett who built the house as his family home and his sister 'Madge' who loved the gardens so much, she left instructions that she wished to be buried in them.
Our 'Walk and Talk' will also tell of the Park's decline in the late 20th century due to lack of Council funding and the on-going improvements made by volunteers who are now caring for the grounds of this hidden, peaceful and well-loved park.
