THE ESTATE
Nestled in Suffolk, the Estate’s enduring appeal is created by blending history, nature and sustainable practices with family-friendly events.
A Suffolk Country Estate
Rougham Estate, located a few miles from Bury St Edmunds, is a rural haven epitomising the timeless charm and natural beauty of East Anglia.
It boasts a rich history dating back through the ages to Roman times. The Estate’s centrepiece, Rougham Hall, although ruined, stands as a testament to its heritage, with the Blackthorpe Barn and the WWII airfield control tower adding unique historical interest.
Besides the fascinating history, the Estate takes its rural responsibilities seriously, ensuring a harmonious balance in its natural surroundings complemented by sustainable forestry and wildlife management. The working farm contributes to the agricultural legacy, while dedicated conservation efforts underscore the commitment to preserving the Estate’s ecological diversity.
Our Awards
ROUGHAM ESTATE TRUST
The Rougham Estate Trust was established by George Agnew and his late brother John, to safeguard the Estate into the future. Committed to maintaining the Estate’s environment and landscape for the benefit of the public, the Trust also supports cultural and educational initiatives by inspiring young local musicians and preserving the history of the area.

Why not pop in to the Garden Room Shop for new plant pots, beautiful vases and other useful gardening items and finish your visit off with a refreshing iced coffee and cake at Roots Café!
With plenty of free parking and just 2 minutes off the A14 outside Bury St Edmunds – it’s a great little trip out on a sunny weekend ☀️
Even better: the pop-up plant stall will be here every other weekend throughout the summer!! 🎉

We’ve been busy on the farm…
The harvest season has officially begun for our farm team!
We’ve started with our Winter Barley, specifically the KWS Tardis variety. This feed crop will help nourish the livestock of East Anglia. Plus, the straw will be baled for bedding, which will eventually return vital nutrients back to the land as manure. It`s a beautiful cycle of sustainability in action.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue our harvest journey!
