The inspired work of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown has created a lasting legacy in the Park at Blenheim Palace. The visionary master landscaper constructed the Great Lake and planted thousands of trees in his ten-year tenure here, engineering a landscape that appears natural but is actually 'contrived to pleasing effect'.
The Park is now home to several Sites of Special Scientific Interest including the Great Lake and the ancient oaks in High Park.

Built for the first Lord Berwick in 1785, Attingham Hall and its beautiful parkland were owned by one family for more than 160 years. As their fortunes rose and fell they proved themselves to be spenders, savers and saviours - providing a fascinating story of love and neglect whose mark still stands in Attingham’s rooms today.

"To encourage healthy development we feel it is important for the babies and children to have access to outdoor play, where they can be active and use their physical skills whilst also benefiting from fresh air and natural light.

Our outdoor play areas (garden/yard/patio) are organised on a daily basis, making sure that age/stage appropriate equipment is available for all children to use.

Practitioners also take children and babies (in pushchairs) to the local amenities, which include walks to the local park and surrounding areas of the Nursery."
this means that there are nurseries that take place here and there are people who teach these kids important things. this also means that they will hire carers/teachers to look after and teach the kids.
why would the public take an interest?
they would take an interest, as in 1844, queen Victoria and prince Albert leased this house. this was the house that they lived in for a number of years. queen Victoria even died in this house in 1901, this would bring in a lot of tourists and people who are interested in this. 

visits for the osborne house costs about £5.50 to tour this house and isnt a lot of money.
