Visit the Rougham Hall ruins

Rougham Hall now stands as a ruin after it was bombed in 1940 and it is NOT open to the public except as part of these guided tours. Anyone found trespassing at the hall site will have their details taken and be required to leave immediately.

However you can join George Agnew, great grandson of George William Agnew who bought the Rougham Estate in 1904, as he expertly guides a group walking around this part of the beautiful Estate.

Pausing at key points along the way, George shares stories of the fascinating local history as well as his Agnew family history. The walk takes in Rougham Hall Park and includes a visit to the hall ruins themselves.

Only organised groups can visit the hall, so take this opportunity to visit the ruin.

The walk lasts approximately two hours and starts and finishes at Blackthorpe Barn.

All profit goes to The Rougham Estate Trust
