Eco practices

The estate comprises 400 acres of grassland and 600 acres natural woodland. We encourage you to explore the grounds and enjoy the tranquility of the place - lush farmland, trees, lake and a bog. Our greatest eco-achievement is the installation of a woodchip boiler that uses biomass from the estate for heat and hot water.
