Brockhampton Estate

Central to the 1700 acres of Brockhampton Estate is Lower Brockhampton, a 14th century fairytale manor house complete with filled moat, gatehouse and a boding ruined Norman chapel: a treat for any imaginative child! There are also kids' activity packs available on loan within the house, plus a kids' quiz trail to follow.

Outside there are several established way-marked nature trails of varying length, 3 differing orienteering course routes and a new Paradise Valley Walking Trail too. The orchards by the river are a peaceful spot to lounge and picnic in, and there are 5 farms and 40 rural dwellings spread over the 1,700 acres plus numerous rest spots and bird hides.
