The Estate
The landscape at Fursdon is stunningly attractive. It retains many of the traditional features present for hundreds of years, such as ancient trees and hedgerows, old lanes and agricultural buildings - some with thatched roofs and made from cob.

The estate surrounds the manor house, which has seen many changes over its seven centuries of existence. The farmland is a mixture of arable land and livestock grazing interspersed with broadleaved woodland and hilltop copses.

The house stands on the 600 ft contour line and the highest point on the estate is Cadbury Castle, the site of an ancient Iron Age fort - home of the Dragon mentioned in Risdon's survey of Devon 1626.

Visitors staying the in the holiday accommodation at Fursdon have access to parts of the estate including walks through woodlands and fields. Some of the walks have notes about the trees, plants and wildlife. Availability of the walks is dependent on estate activities such as tree felling or livestock needs.

Restoration and clearing is currently taking place in an area close to the house called the Meadow Garden which will make a lovely short walk through woodland looking out towards parkland. There are six properties on the estate, which are let to tenants on a longer term basis - if any of these are available it will appear in the News and Events section.
Coach Hall
The Coach Hall is situated in the stable yard and is used for many activities. It serves as ticket office and tea room when the house is open to the public but is also right at the heart of the Cadbury community, being used as parish rooms and church hall.
It can be hired for functions and is suitable for lunches, lectures, small family parties etc. It can seat up to 50 people and there is a fully equipped kitchen and toilet facilities. 
There are plans to renovate and enlarge the Coach Hall with a view to it becoming a conference centre and function suite.
