Cumberland Lodge itself is a former royal residence dating back to the 1660s, shortly after the English Civil War. It was historically home to the Rangers of the Great Park, including the Duke of Cumberland, second son of King George II, who took up the Rangership in 1746, and Prince Christian, who moved here with Princess Helena, daughter of Queen Victoria, in the late 19th century.
Cumberland Lodge is a distinctive venue for events, noted for its historic rooms, excellent food, modern conferencing facilities and exceptional quality of service. It is used by a wide variety of organisations for conferences, away days, retreats, professional development, and special events including civil weddings and civil partnerships.
