Mulgrave Estate News

We’re inviting expressions of interest from graziers looking for well‑managed, environmentally responsible grazing and cutting opportunities across the Estate. Over recent months, we’ve brought together several of our SFI and Countryside Stewardship agreements to create larger, more coherent land parcels — making it easier for good stock keepers to work at a meaningful scale while helping us deliver high‑quality environmental outcomes. These blocks of land include a mix of grassland, moorland fringe and conservation habitats, all managed under low‑input principles. We’re keen to partner with graziers who share our commitment to sustainable land use, excellent husbandry and sympathetic management of the landscape.

If you’re interested in tendering for the 2026 season, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

Mulgrave Estate were honoured to receive an award presented by Chief Fire Officer, Jonathan Dyson and Mayor of York & North Yorkshire, David Skaith. This award celebrates the estate’s longstanding contribution to this vital lifesaving service releasing reservists for callouts and training. This commitment reflects values long championed by Lord and Lady Normanby, who have always believed in giving back to the community in meaningful ways. The event was attended by Ben Garstang our Estate Director & Ross Blackwell, Assistant Building Manager, Ross is currently our longest standing reservist having served 9 years, supported by Callum, Finley & newest recruit Shula, all members of the Mulgrave Team.

We would also like to take a moment to celebrate the equally important work of another member of our team Andrew, who volunteers as a Coastguard Rescue Officer. Like the fire service, the Coast Guard plays a crucial role - given our rural, coastal location - saving lives, often in the most challenging of conditions. To all those who serve—and those who have served before you—thank you. Your courage and commitment and that of your families does not go unnoticed.
