This beautiful park in the market town of Congleton in Cheshire, is bordered
by the River Dane and Park wood..
Congleton Park covers an area of 10 hectares (24.7 acres) and includes the
historic Town Wood. Designed by Edward Kemp, an emphasis was placed
upon creating river views, a formal promenade flanked by rugged rocks
topped with ornamental shrubs and formal avenues of Chestnut and Lime.
The park was opened to the public on the 29 May 1871.
A full restoration of the park was undertaken during 2004/05 with funding from
many sources including the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cheshire East Council (
formerley Congleton Borough Council), Congleton Town Council, the
Millennium Committee, local trusts and many others. The park restoration
could not have occured without the support of all and we continue to thank
everyone for their continued hard work.
