Sometimes nothing beats a coffee from our cafe when we’ve been working hard all morning labelling our stock.
Looking for something to do this weekend? Grab a takeaway coffee and take an adventure on one of our walks around the Estate.
Or just simply visit our Garden Room Shop or cafe.
Whatever you fancy!
Dogs are welcome too ☺️

Tree Management Update 🌲
Under the instructions of the Forestry Commission, tree management will be taking place at Rougham Estate in the upcoming weeks.
This is necessary to control the spread of the invasive Spruce Bark Beetle, which has come over from Asia and poses a threat to our forests. Norway Spruce trees over 3 metres tall will be felled as they are particularly vulnerable to the beetle. The beetle tunnels into the bark of living trees to lay its eggs. The larvae then feed and develop, forming tunnels that weaken, and in most cases kill, the host tree.
The good news is that healthy trees like oak, sycamore, birch, and yew are not affected and will be left to flourish without the extra competition. We will also be planting more broadleaf trees to enhance the woodland`s health and diversity.
Rest assured though, our Christmas tree offerings will not be impacted. Most of our Norway Spruce Christmas trees are safe, and our Nordman Firs are not affected by the beetle.
This work has been timed to minimise disruption to wildlife, such as the nesting season.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to protect our local environment. 🌳
