Nature
The Monkton Farleigh estate is a vibrant haven for biodiversity, where thriving natural ecosystems are actively woven into the fabric of the working farm landscape.
Thanks to our strict environmental stewardship and integration with Wildlife Farms and Estates England and Wales, the farm’s private lands act as a vital sanctuary for rare and protected species [wildlifeestates.org.uk]. Our ancient woodlands and carefully managed field margins provide a safe, protected roosting and foraging network for threatened Greater Horseshoe Bats and other elusive woodland wildlife. The estate's fields and hedgerows are alive with a rich variety of native farmland birds and insects, while unusual local flora like Bath asparagus and wild orchids flourish alongside our cattle pastures. By prioritizing interconnected habitats across the property, nature doesn't just exist at Monkton Farleigh—it flourishes.
