The Estate offers more than land to own or work — it offers space to breathe, to move, and to reconnect. Here, recreation is not a diversion from life, but a return to something simpler, deeper, and quietly sustaining. Between its hedgerows and waterways, woodlands and open fields, the Estate holds moments of rest and discovery for those who seek them.

​

Winding trails trace the contours of the land, inviting walkers to follow their instincts rather than a clock. Footpaths and bridleways meander through wildflower meadows, sun-dappled woodland, and the quiet hush of hedgerow-lined lanes. There is no rush here — only the rhythm of your own pace, the sound of birds overhead, the distant low of cattle across the hill.

​

For riders on horseback, these same paths become something more — a quiet communion between horse and rider, landscape and motion. Hooves strike earth in steady rhythm, echoing the timeless bond between people and place. The Estate’s bridle routes welcome both the daily rider and the occasional wanderer, always with the same generosity of space.

​

Cyclists, too, find their freedom here — whether coasting down gentle slopes or pushing onward along winding rural lanes. The land rewards the effort with sweeping views, clean air, and the joy of the ride itself. Families with children, seasoned cyclists, and those rediscovering the bicycle all find their own kind of journey across this open terrain.

​

Where the river flows slow and silver beneath leaning trees, fishing becomes a patient ritual. Anglers sit with the stillness of the water, the passing clouds reflected beside the glint of their lines. It is a place for solitude, for quiet conversations, for a kind of mindfulness that needs no name.

​

Tucked among these wider landscapes are the allotment gardens — small, treasured plots where soil meets soul. Here, tenants dig and sow, water and wait, their labours producing more than food alone. The allotments are a place of renewal, of rootedness, where the seasons are felt in the fingertips and marked not by dates, but by growth.

​

Together, these pursuits form a quiet symphony — not loud, but full. A walk, a ride, a cast line, a tended row: each an act of belonging to the land. This is not leisure in the modern sense, measured in hours or steps, but recreation in its truest form — re-creation. A way to be made new again by open skies, soft trails, and the generous rhythm of the natural world.

​

The Estate holds this gift carefully, offering it not as spectacle, but as sanctuary — a place where the simple pleasures of movement, stillness, and connection are always within reach.
