WHAT DARTMOUTH PARK LOOKS LIKE NOW

Herbert Street / Beeches Road Entrance

The house at the Herbert Street entrance is the Herbert Street Lodge, and is lived in by a ranger who works from Sandwell Park Farm

There was once a house that extended into the park called Coopers Hill House, which was close to the Herbert Street entrance, and it would be wonderful if we could find a picture of this house!!

 

 

After a lot of hard work Dartmouth Park has just been awarded £4.4 million from the Heritage Lottery to help towards restoring the historic Dartmouth Park and the future looks really interesting. Here are a few Photos showing the Park now
