It has taken ten centuries and the vision of many individuals for the magnificent Country Park to reach its present splendour. Come and explore its beautiful garden, woodland and lakeside walks and relax in the historic surroundings. The 500 acres of beautiful historic parkland offer a memorable experience to visitors all year round.
A large part of the site is classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as recognition of its importance to wildlife. Its historic parkland is on the English Heritage register of historic parks and gardens.
Coombe Country Park offers a wide range of facilities including a Visitor Centre with Discovery Centre, History room, information desk, Heron Table Restaurant and gift shop.
Outside in the park, Coombe has one of Warwickshire's largest heronries easily viewed from the park's large accessible bird hide. Coombe also has a climbing forest and children's play areas, formal gardens, premier coarse fishery, and extensive educational programmes.
