Wolterton Park, Norfolk Over twenty miles of waymarked public footpaths and permissive paths run around Mannington and Wolverton. The Park at Wolterton surrounds the eighteenth century house and all that remains of St. Margaret?s Church is the tower. The area is left rough for wildlife and little is known of the church?s history though it is first mentioned in Domesday Book. The North Park holds the site of Wolterton village with the village pond still visible. The Moat Pond is home to a variety of waterfowl and Wolterton Lake itself was created in the 1720?s from an earlier water feature. The woodland behind the Horse Pond was laid out in its present form in 1733. Wolterton Park is open every day for walks with views of the lake and Hall.
