Welcome to Coton Park

Coton Park is a beautiful and historic estate located in Derbyshire, England. The park is situated on the outskirts of the village of Coton in the Elms and covers an area of approximately 200 acres. The estate is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers, and is a popular destination for nature lovers and walkers.

The park has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was owned by the Coton family. In the 18th century, the estate was purchased by the Earl of Chesterfield, who commissioned the construction of a grand mansion on the site. The mansion was completed in 1760 and was designed by the renowned architect James Paine. The mansion was later sold to the Duke of Devonshire in the 19th century and was used as a hunting lodge.

Today, the mansion is no longer standing, but the estate remains a popular destination for visitors. The park is home to a number of walking trails, including the Coton Park Trail, which takes visitors on a tour of the estate's historic landmarks and natural beauty. The park also features a number of picnic areas, a children's playground, and a cafe. Overall, Coton Park is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, nature, and outdoor recreation.
