Please join us for our Meadows Day on Bank Holiday Monday (25 May 2026).
This popular day offers visitors the chance to enjoy an extended walk through our old hay meadows at Fursdon.
These are actively managed (with advice from Devon Wildlife Trust) to promote their conservation and are included in areas on the estate that have recently received County Wildlife Designation.
Growth in these fields have included new eyebright, yellow rattle, salad burnet, self-heal, trefoils, plantain, cat’s ear and yarrow – some warm temperatures and a bit rain should bring these on again very nicely!
Spot these alongside marsh orchids, other wildflowers, grasses, bees, bugs, butterflies and moths!
The meadows are accessed via our ‘Meadow Garden’ and forms part of our usual garden opening. Be sure to save time for a house and garden tour as well as tea & cake.
Please see our Opening Times & Prices for full details of our opening times on the day.
