Ten top UK winter walks: Gatton Park, Surrey

We’re running a walk a day specially selected by the National Trust to make the most of the winter holidays. Day ten: a stroll through undulating parkland landscaped by Capability Brown The Discover Gatton Walk takes place around a stunning historic landscape originally created by the famous landscape designer of the 1760s, Lancelot “Capability” Brown. The best thing about the walk at this, or any time of year, has to be the vistas, offering tantalising glimpses of this impressive landscape. Although these have remained the same through the centuries there is always something new to see with the change in seasons. At this time of year you can see buzzards soaring high over the open parkland and, if you’re quiet, roe deer can be spotted out in the park or in the woodland. Glimpses of the and water features, along with the wildlife that resides there, can also be seen. For a quick snack, Urban Kitchen in Wray Lane car park serves excellent food and drink, but for a more substantial meal the Yew Tree pub on Reigate Hill (A217) serves good food and is only a few hundred yards away. Bring wellies and a camera as you never know what you might see when walking in the park. Even if the wildlife does not offer itself for a photo opportunity, the views change with the seasons and always offer something new. • Find out more at nationaltrust.org.uk/walks and you can tweet your favourite walk and upload images on Twitter over the period at #festivewalks .
