The Estate’s history dates back centuries having hosted the Romans, Saxons and Vikings. Encompassing over 3000 acres of glorious Suffolk countryside, there are leisurely walks through woodlands and fields to embark on, natural wonders to enjoy and history to discover, including the year-round café serving locally-sourced dishes.
Rougham Estate is a welcoming location for you to relax and be inspired, offering a range of opportunities to immerse yourself in the beautiful surroundings. From the sunflowers in the summer to the Christmas festival, well-respected Crafts events and workshops that bring the estate to life throughout the year, the Estate is committed to sustainability and conservation.

Rougham Estate takes the role of caring for the environment very seriously. It covers an area of 3,000 acres in total and boasts woodland covering 20% of the whole, amounting to some 655 acres, or twice the national average. In addition to many miles of traditional hedgerows, the Estate is famous for its wonderful oak trees.
