A throwback to the Fonthill Hunter Trials in September, which we were proud to sponsor.
This is part of photographer Adrian Wroth’s beautiful Fonthill Project, documenting a year on the Estate.
We highly recommend heading over to Adrian’s Instagram feed to take a look at the whole project >> https://bit.ly/3pZNrFZ
We love this stunning overhead shot of Old Wardour Castle by @gbriantgram from back in September, just as the leaves were beginning to turn ????????
Built in the 14th century as a lightly fortified luxury residence for John, fifth Lord Lovell, the unusual hexagonal castle came into the ownership of the Arundells in the 16th century. It was rendered uninhabitable during the English Civil war following a Parliamentarian siege that lasted several weeks and then the subsequent recapture by Henry 3rd Lord Arundell.
The castle is currently closed for lockdown, but -all going to plan- will be reopening on 3rd Dec for pre-booked visits via English Heritage. We highly recommend a visit to take in the castle rooms, grounds and grotto ???? There’s also a lovely circular walk that takes in both Old and New Wardour Castles.

English historical novelist, poet and essayist Maurice Hewlett included Teffont in his list of the half dozen most beautiful villages in England. We’re in agreement.
A detached period character home in an idyllic tucked away rural hamlet setting offering versatile accommodation and the most wonderfully landscaped & extensive grounds including a paddock
An attractive & beautifully presented family home in an edge of village setting within walking distance of an historic inn and surrounded by some of South Wiltshire’s most stunning countryside
