- Grassland and former stud paddocks grazed by a partly owned flock of sheep.
- Environmental stewardship and Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) schemes across much of the landholding.
- Approved fencing and hedge-planting projects.
Responsibilities
- Manage the day-to-day operations of the estate.
