Forestry
The total woodland management plan area extends to 323.04ha. A distinctive ring belt of trees characterise the landscape surrounding the village of Wimborne St Giles. There are many veteran trees, areas of conservation interest and archaeological features, which are managed to ensure that their particular interest is conserved, and wherever practically possible enhanced. The woodlands on the estate consist of mixed woodlands with beech, sycamore, oak, ash and hazel. Confier plantations include species such as Douglas fir, western red cedar, hemlock, Norway spruce, Scots pine and larch.
Fishing on the River Allen
This intimate stretch of the river is an excellent example of the Southern chalk stream: unspoilt with great charm and purity, holding a fine head of native brown trout.
