Chadkirk Country Estate

Chadkirk Country Estate is around 60 acres and is comprised of low lying farm land and Ancient woodland. These Ancient woodlands are designated as Sib’s (Sites of Biological Importance) due to the rich flora & fauna associated with these old woodlands.

The Farm is signed up to the Countryside Stewardship Scheme which is a scheme to support and encourage farmers and land holders to manage the land in an environmentally friendly way.

As a result of the sympathetic and environmentally friendly way in which the farm and woodlands are managed, the entire Estate has been designated as a LINER, (Local Nature Reserve).

As well as the farm and woodlands, the estate has an enchanting walled garden, with beds, lawns and a large herb garden.

The ‘Chapel’ gardens also have mixed flower beds, a scented garden and a semi wild raised bed, with both wild and cultivated plants.

While these areas are formal and well kept they still play a valuable roll in adding to the conservation of wildlife by providing a rich and varied source of nectar and pollen for, Butterflies, Moths and Hover flies etc.

The estate offers the visitor the chance to relax in a variety of habitats, with seats and picnic tables placed around the estate and gardens. These stopping points allow you to stop and take in the colours and scents which are encountered around the gardens, fields and woodlands.
