Welcome to our Notblog

What’s On at Notgrove Estate this Summer

The Notgrove estate, near Bourton on the Water, is run by Harry & Diana Acland who are passionate about the countryside and giving everyone the chance to learn more about it, preserve it, enjoy being in it and even help keep traditional countryside skills alive.

With the growing need for us all to look after our own wellbeing, Notgrove has something to offer everyone that helps take us away from our hectic lives to spend time outside in the fresh air and away from screens, no matter how young or old we are.

Over the past year, Notgrove has joined in partnership with a number of small businesses who are also passionate about their offering to help people get outside and enjoy the countryside and now have a brand new active schedule of courses, events and activities that local residents and visitors to the Cotswolds can book to do – see links below for booking details.
