We have a completely free to access Outdoor Children's play area, including swings, a slide, a natural climbing frame. You don't need to pay to access or park to go to the Play Area. 

Museum 

As well as being the site of a Roman walled town, there is evidence from the Mesolithic, Iron Age and Medieval periods, together with a complex of traditional farm buildings dating back to the 17th century. At present much of this heritage is buried; our challenge is to bring it to life and tell its stories. We have an exciting museum including a large indoor museum within our learning and community building.



Walks

Local walks run through the Chester House Estate making it a great place to explore. We have a walking leaflet on your arrival to site, so be sure to explore the entire 85 acres!

Mooring

Working with The Nenescape Landscape Partnership Scheme the Environment Agency have installed a new mooring platform at The Chester House estate, which enables people to access the site via the river Nene. This unique resource adds a very special dimension to the site.
