Owlpen Manor

Fifty years ago there were 11 dairy farms in this valley. Today there are none.

Today let's lift our hats to farmers up and down the country, who have been looking after their family farms often for generations.

Let's take the time buy their food from local shops at a fair rate. Let's laugh with the traffic jams that they create on our highways and byways as they go about their business.

Let's take a moment to reflect on the tightness of their margins, and how precarious their livelihoods can be.

And when we venture out into the woods and fields again, let's not forget that this green and pleasant land which we enjoy in our leisure time is tended, nurtured and loved by often stressed and weary women and men who love it so deeply, that they devote their lives to its service 💚💚💚

Good morning! The leaves are in their autumn beauty after a healthy frost. The perfect day for an autumn wedding here at Owlpen, and for crunching woodland walks in the leafdrifts. Happy day to all, enjoy the sunshine 🍁 🍂 ☀️

We love these summer-end glimpses of Owlpen in full verdant flurry by .
Such a pleasure to see photographers and artists taking inspiration from this little pocket of England, and giving us all something to cherish forever. Beautiful!

Introducing our 12x8m garden marquee, to keep the sun (or those dreaded summer rain showers!) from your heads during your outdoor ceremony!

Thumbs up to for putting our little corner of England at number one in his round-up of best UK walks. We love it when people come and share the secret of this hidden valley with us, with breath-taking footpaths aplenty! Walk tall 🙂🙂🙂

It was both an honour and a pleasure to host at Owlpen for The Magic Flute this week. We loved seeing so many friendly faces enjoying picnics in the gardens, and we were blown away by the high standards of every performer. We can't wait to host them again next year, and look out for more exciting events coming up in future. See you again soon! 🎼🪈🪈🪈🩷🎶🎵🎻🎭🏵️🍾🍾🍾🥂🌟

We adore our gardens and grounds here at Owlpen, and every day it is a joy to come to walk so that we can bask in our own little Garden of Eden.

But looking after them takes a lot of work, so we need your help!

Do you know someone in need of a summer job?

Or are you looking for extra hours over the summer?

We are looking for someone to help out in the gardens and grounds of the estate, as we can't do it all ourselves. So much to do, and not enough hands to do it!

If you know of someone, do please get in touch via Facebook or [email protected].

Thanks!

Great shot from yesterday's wedding. Always fun to have a horse involved, which was the perfect way for our lovely bride to arrive at her outdoor ceremony. The perfect rustic spring wedding 🥰

Admiring the simple beauty of Norman Jewson's plaster cast, which we are lucky to have here in the house.

A strawberry plant, perhaps?

Arts and Crafts heaven!

Happy Boxing Day from the Manders at Owlpen! Not quite all of us here today but it's always so special to pack out the house and get stuck into some leftovers. Wishing a happy Christmas to all, and hope the holidays are filled with joy and goodwill. With fondest love from Owlpen x x x
