Tortworth Park is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Covering an area of approximately 200 acres, it is nestled within the larger Tortworth Estate and is known for its natural beauty and rich history. The park is situated just north of the village of Tortworth and is easily accessible by road, with the town of Wotton-under-Edge nearby.

The park is predominantly made up of ancient woodland, boasting a diverse range of tree species including oak, beech, and ash. These towering trees provide a serene and tranquil setting for visitors to enjoy, with well-maintained pathways meandering through the forest, allowing for leisurely walks and exploration. Wildlife thrives in this natural habitat, and visitors may be lucky enough to spot various species of birds, squirrels, and deer.

One of the prominent features of Tortworth Park is the majestic Tortworth Court, a Grade II listed Victorian mansion that serves as a hotel and conference center. The mansion is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, adding to the charm and allure of the park. Additionally, there is a small lake within the park, offering a peaceful spot for reflection and relaxation.

Tortworth Park holds historical significance, as it was once part of the vast Tortworth Estate, owned by the Ducie family. The estate dates back to the 11th century and has seen many transformations over the years. Today, Tortworth Park stands as a testament to the area's natural beauty and provides a haven for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
