Panshanger Park is pleased to welcome a new addition to the park.

Spring is almost upon us, the days are getting lighter and longer and this optimism is being felt by the wildlife too!

Panshanger Park is pleased to announce the opening of the Western approach path. The new path is a permissive bridleway which can be enjoyed on foot, horse or bike, and links the western side of the park to the Panshanger Great Oak and the remains of Panshanger house.

This February Tarmac is spreading the simple message ‘bee kind’ to help raise awareness of the UK’s declining bee population, which is having a hugely negative impact on the environment.

It certainly has felt like we’ve had our fair portion of winter this year but whilst you’ve been out on your daily exercise recently you may have noticed that there are hints of Spring glimmering in the woodland or parkland near you.

Plans for making Panshanger Park a sustainable country park and nature reserve for the future are taking shape, the park’s management team has revealed.

Jo Whitaker is the new Panshanger Park People and Wildlife Officer. Jo works for Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust and her role is funded by Tarmac.

Panshanger Park will become a wilder place with a new community engagement and volunteering programme thanks to a new partnership between Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust and Tarmac.

Tarmac is working on a planning application for permission to build an additional car park for Panshanger Park visitors. The proposed new space will be able to facilitate three times the capacity of the current Thieves Lane parking area.

Following the closure of Thieves Lane Car Park on 24th March, we're happy to announce the car park has reopened to the public.
