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

If you haven`t got your Christmas Tree or wreath, there`s still plenty available here at Rougham Estate.
We have Nordmann Fir, Norway Spruce, Fraser Fir and Albertiana Conica trees available.
Nordmann Fir trees are great for needle retention - ideal for those who want to have their trees up as long as possible.
The Norway Spruce which has a fantastic festive scent but need a little bit of extra care as they drop their needles more than the Nordmann Fir.
We also have potted trees in the Norway Spruce, Nordmann Fir and Albertiana Conica for those looking to use their tree year on year.
Sizes range from 3 foot to 25 foot tall!
All grown on the Estate, the carbon footprint is practically zero!
Come and choose your tree at Blackthorpe Barn where you can both see and smell how fresh they are.
