Brookheys Covert
Brookheys Covert is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Dunham Park Estate (grid reference SJ742904). The site is a semi-natural wood consisting mainly of ash, birch, and rowan, with a wetland habitat and several marl pits, which have flooded to form ponds. The reserve spans 5.8 acres (2.3 ha) and is managed by the Dunham Massey Estates. Brookheys Covert provides a habitat for many animals, including foxes, rabbits, squirrels, and 57 species of bird.[15][16]

Dunham Massey has many grade II listed buildings; among the most striking is the 18th century sandstone obelisk at the end of the north vista from Dunham Massey Hall. Tradition has it that it marks the burial site of a race horse.[18]
There are many listed residences in Dunham Massey, most dating from the 18th or early-19th century, and many feature
The farm buildings of Home Farm, including its dovecote, were built in the early-19th century, and feature Flemish bond brickwork.[32][33] Sinderland House, also dating from the early-19th century, is another of Dunham Massey's listed farmhouses.[34] Manor Farmhouse, on Station Road, was built by George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington; the building dates from the mid-18th century and features both Flemish and garden wall bond brickwork.[35] The farmhouse on Station Road was built in 1752.[36] The barn on Woodhouse Lane dates from the early 18th century and features garden wall bond brickwork, a slate roof, and upper cruck frames.[37] Dog Farmhouse, also on Woodhouse Lane, was built in the early 19th century; however it may have been an adaptation of an earlier, possibly 18th-century, farmhouse.[38]
Dunham School was built in 1759, with additions in 1860 and the 20th century. Above the door is an engraved panel reading "This School was Erected in 1759 For the Benefit of the Township of Dunham Massey. According to the Will of Thomas Walton Gent". The school is now used as the parish hall.
There are a number of listed structures in the grounds of Dunham Massey Hall, including the 1720 wellhouse that supplied water to the hall until the 1860s,[44] and the early-18th-century ornamental sundial in front of the hall, depicting a black slave clad in leaves, carrying the sundial above his head.[45] The stable buildings,[46] the slaughterhouse,[47] the deer house,[48] the orangery,[49] and an ashlar shelter to the west of the hall,[50] all date from the 17th or 18th century. Barn Cottages date from at least 1751. The cottages were originally a single barn, which was converted in the 19th century.[51] Other grade II listed structures in the grounds of the hall include: the lakeside wall (18th century);[52] two small piers south of the garden forecourt (18th century);[53] a pier north west of the garden forecourt (18th century);[54] the gateway opposite the kitchen (1750);[55] the piers at the south of forecourt garden topped with lions (18th century);[56][57] and an obelisk erected by George, 2nd Earl of Warrington, in 1714 in memory of his mother.[58] Near the hall there is a Grade II* listed sawmill, probably built in 1616.[59]
