Kyre Park is a park and gardens within the village which is known for being designed by Capability Brown. The park was used for hunting deer until the mid-1700s, when it was laid out for the Pytts family. It contains numerous follies and a Grade II listed barn, which now houses antiques. The park is privately owned but is open daily to the public.[2]
