Wildlife Walks
We are extremely proud to have won many awards for our commitment to wildlife including 'English Nature Farming for Wildlife Award' and 'The Wilkinson Award'.

The lake and its surroundings are home to some beautiful birds including Swans, Canadian Geese, Water Hens and for the birdwatching enthusiasts the extremely rare Bitton, Long Eared Owl and Tree Sparrow. Our estate is part of a national scheme which places owl and tree sparrow boxes and monitors their breeding as featured on the BBC's Alan Titchmarsh programme - "Nature of Britain in Autumn".

Our woodland is home to Roe Deer, and
Otters are often seen on our river banks.
Those taking a walk after dusk may just to
lucky enough to see one of our Barn or
Long Eared Owls out hunting.
