Description

Following the recent announcement by the government which allows outdoor spaces to be open from 12th April we are delighted to announce that the Holywell Estate will be open to the public on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th of April this year by kind permission of the Earl & Countess of Clarendon.

Join The Murray Parish Trust for a unique opportunity to enjoy the fabulous annual display of spring Bluebells as you take a stroll around the woodlands, river meadows and historic parklands situated in the South Downs National Park in the unspoilt rolling countryside of the Meon Valley.

The grounds open from 10:30 am on both dates and tickets must be purchased in advance with all proceeds going to the charity.
