Wray Grounds Tour - Walk & Talk
About
Discover the history of the Wray estate on a 45‑minute Walk & Talk led by a knowledgeable member of the Wray team.
Starting on the Castle terrace, you'll stop at key points around the perimeter to hear how the Dawson family created the estate, learn about notable visitors, and find out how we're planning for Wray's future.
It's a great introduction to the estate's story. From here you can explore further into the estate following one of our many waymarked walks or trails.
