About YSP Patrons and Friends: The Bridges of Bretton Heritage Tour

Join YSP’s Heritage Volunteers and Head of Estates, Mark Chesman, for a guided tour of the Bridges of Bretton. Discover their design, function, role within the park’s heritage, and how they are cared for today.

The walking tour will begin at the YSP Centre Information Desk and will last approximately two hours. During this time, we will explore several bridges located within Bretton’s historic park and garden.

The route follows mostly established paths over a distance of around 5 km, with some areas of uneven and rough ground. Suitable footwear is recommended. 

Please note: This event is available exclusively to YSP Friends and Patrons. Maximum 2 tickets per individual membership.
