Hooke Park

The site is designated as ancient woodland and historically comprised a deer hunting estate.

An educational campus is located at Hooke Park that was developed by the Parnham Trust following its purchase of the site in 1983.

Led by furniture designer John Makepeace a School of Woodland Industries was established that aimed to "research, demonstrate and teach the better use of forest produce".
