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

When are the sunflowers opening??🌻
That’s just the question we are asking too!😁
The flowers are growing well and this sun/rain/sun weather is great for them, but they aren’t in flower yet.🙄
We’re keeping a very close eye and as soon as we know that there will be blooms for you to see, we’ll let you know the opening date. Currently we’re saying it’s “Early August”, but we can’t say more than that right now.
We can’t wait to open and to welcome you again, but for now we’re going to have to wait a little longer… 🙃
You can be sure we’ll be letting you know as soon as we know!👍😁🌻🌻
