Sinai has always been used as a place of rest and recuperation

Since the site was first built on in the 1200s, Sinai Park House has always been used as a place of rest and recuperation. The location and site of Sinai has a big significance – it is home to an ancient healing spring; Chalybeate waters which are salts of iron. The spring is why the monks of Burton Abbey chose Sinai Park House for their place of respite.

Sinai Park House Trust’s vision for the future of Sinai is to not only save the Grade II* timber framed buildings, but to bring the site back to life, allowing it to deliver all the rejuvenation, contemplation and new learning that previous generations have previously experienced.

Take 30 minutes to an hour out of a busy day, to enjoy a walk in the historic woodland - a great place for mindfulness and connecting with nature.

Sinai Woodlands is being transformed by The National Forest, with a recreation of the historic setting which once surrounded the house. Planted in two parts, Shobnall Wood to the north and The Rough on the southern side - the Friars Walk allows walkers to enjoy both.

Be sure to stop off at the viewing area overlooking the restored Georgian plunge pool and natural spring, for a moment of calm. You will also find picnic benches for those wanting to stay for a little longer.

Sinai Park House Trust is the charity coordinating plans to save and restore access to Sinai Park House.
