We are happy to report that there is a new beaver kit!

Beavers breed just once a year, mainly from December to April and litters of usually two to three kits are born in May or June. We have only seen one so far, but there could be more…

A quiet fragment of time set in stone.

The clock tower wing of Broughton Hall rises from the estate like a marker of centuries gone by — it’s hands still marking the passage of each hour, its presence felt among the trees and shifting light.

Not a monument to speed, but to continuity. Not loud, but enduring.

Badgers have an incredibly wide vocal repertoire of at least 16 different calls, ranging from low, raspy grunts and purrs when content, to ear-piercing screams, hisses and even howls.

By the sound of this video from our trail cam, all is well and happy for these badgers, as they play with their young cubs.

At last week’s .for.the.future award ceremony in London, we were delighted to offer the prize of an oak sapling to our winners. These were kindly provided by Benedict Pollard of - a specialist tree nursery raising and selling ‘pedigree’ oaks grown from acorns gathered from many of the oldest, most iconic and characterful oaks of Britain.

Benedict has planted nearly 150 of his oak trees , bringing people together in celebration of the beauty of life.

If you are interested in planting one of Benedict’s trees drop him a line… and if you don’t have your own space, Broughton will provide the land!

Otters have recently expanded their territory here and are being seen more frequently in new areas.

For the best chance of spotting one, guests can head to the beck at dusk or dawn and look for tell-tale webbed toe prints or muddy slides down banks to the water.
