Life on the Estate
The monthly journal is a chance to reflect on life on the Cowdray Estate throughout the year. It gives a snapshot of on what’s gone on in the last month and also a glimpse behind the scenes of the day to day running of a busy country estate in all the seasons from the depths of winter to a hot summer’s day.

New appointments, a well-attended Farm Shop dining dinner, planting trees, digging ditches and building new benches from Cowdray timber ready for the general public to enjoy picnics and pizzas outside are a few of the events that have taken at Cowdray this February.

After the buzz of Christmas, wintry January has settled in. With challenging weather ranging from frosty temperatures to fierce storms, the New Year has started with plenty going on.
