Some of the Courteenhall team paid a visit to our sister estate Gawdy Hall in Norfolk today.

Gawdy Hall Estate’s Land Agent Mark Mayhew gave them a tour of the estate, which dates back to the 16th century.

They met Gawdy’s shepherd Ben Coe who looks after our growing flock of rare breed sheep, which now includes Llanwenog sheep, Norfolk Horn Shearling ewes and a pedigree ram.

The new flock is part of our regenerative farming strategy and our long-term plan to improve organic matter in our soils. Our policy is to have no bare soil in our arable cropping over winter.

Here are some pictures from the day.
