Highclere's ground will be closed while we are in G.B. this May. But, they have a link to Public footpaths through the castle grounds with very specific information such as times you may walk these, paths to take, etc. But I cannot find where I can park my rental car. Does anyone have practical advice on where to park our car, preferably near the main entrance, and leave it to go for a walk.
Thanks!
Here's the link if anyone's interested: http://www.highclerecastle.co.uk/uploads/assets/Where_Can_I_walk_PDF.pdf

If you are interested in a medium length walk that incorporates the walk through the estate with two other outstanding attractions and a couple of more than adequate pubs I enclose the following link to an AA walk.

Sandham Memorial Chapel contains a major series of paintings by Stanley Spencer which has just been restored.
The view from Beacon Hill is great with the added interest of the grave of the Earl of Carnarvon's tomb, who financed the excavation of Tutankhamen's tomb.
We have used the Beacon Hill car park. It is busy enough to be reasonably secure and is just at the foot of the first climb on the walk.
