Wivenhoe Park is a landscaped green space of more than 200 acres (81 ha) at the eastern edge of Colchester, England. It is the site of Wivenhoe House, a four-star hotel, based in an eighteenth-century Grade II listed house.[1] Wivenhoe House is also home to the Edge Hotel School, the first school of its kind in the UK and since October 2018 a department of the University of Essex.[2] Since the 1960s, Wivenhoe Park has also been home to the Colchester Campus of the University of Essex.
John Constable painted the park in 1816. His painting, Wivenhoe Park, is now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.[3]
Wivenhoe Park has received a Green Flag Award six times[4] and has received a Gold Award as a Hedgehog Friendly Campus.[5] The parkland has been voted one of the top ten green spaces in the UK, in the People's Choice Award on four consecutive occasions and is the only university campus to have achieved this award.[6]
The park is host to a very large colony of rabbits. Habitat surveys have identified many other species at Wivenhoe Park.[7]
