This grassy, sloping corner, popular with dog-walkers, takes its name from the Clumber Spaniel, also known as the "retired gentleman's shooting dog" for its slow gait and remarkable talent for finding birds. Spaniels date back to the 1300s when they were first bred by the Spanish. The Clumber was created by combining old spaniel breeds with other dogs, giving it its present physical characteristics. The long, low body comes from the Basset Hound, while the heavy head comes from the Alpine Spaniel. The Duc de Noailles of France was the first to breed the Clumber, although he had to send his spaniels to England when the French Revolution came. They were housed in the kennels of the Duke of Newcastle at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, thus earning their current name.
