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. 🌳

We are continuing to experience issues with our gas supply and therefore we are still unable to offer hot food.
We have a reduced menu to offer cold food and also have a wide range of cakes and savoury snacks.
Thank you for bearing with us and we apologise once again for this.
Fingers crossed that we are back to normal very soon!
