Mulgrave Estate

Due to the going current restrictions due to Covid 19, Mulgrave Estate have taken the decision to cancel all open gardens for this Year. Lord & Lady Normanby allow public access to Mulgrave Gardens for a number of days per year, each open day is hosted by a different organisation in aid of a local charity. We look forward to 2022 when we hope we can open the gardens for all to enjoy.

Located down a farm track in a rural setting this lovely house has a range of outbuildings and garden. Comprising a large kitchen/diner, utility and a living room with a wood burner. Upstairs there are four good sized bedrooms with a family bathroom. Available from August 2021, minimum 12 month tenancy. Rent £1350pcm.

Our resident Exmoor Ponies are on the move again around the Estate. We recently rehoused them at Sandsend Quarry to graze the coastal slope grassland. The grasslands here are becoming choked by gorse, bramble and rank grasses so the Exmoor’s are the ideal tool to combat this and get the flower and herb rich sward back into condition. The quarry is open to the public but please observe the signs on the gates and be responsible around the livestock. As we move the Exmoor’s around the various conservation grazing sites we are looking for volunteer pony checkers to keep an eye on them on a day to day basis and report any problems. If you walk to the quarry regularly and would like to volunteer for this do get in touch with john.beech@mulgrave.net

Quarry fencing underway at Deepgrove. Our contractors have made good progress recently with the new stock fencing that is being installed at Deepgrove Quarry, Sandsend. Around a mile of fencing around the boundaries of the quarry will allow for the introduction of conservation grazing with suitable livestock. This will prevent the area being swamped by gorse, bramble and rough grasses and enable the herb rich grassland underneath to flourish. Panels are to be placed on site as well to tell the story of this fascinating part of the Estate, it’s history, wildlife and connections with the local community at Sandsend
