Historic Landscape
We use cutting-edge machinery and technology while maintaining a 19th Century landscape, demonstrating our deep respect for the environment.
With a rich history of family ownership, the landscape at Dennington Hall remains largely untouched, featuring fields that may have originated from its origins as a Deer Park documented in the Domesday Book.
Biodiversity
Our commitment to biodiversity is evident in the carefully designed areas incorporating a variety of natural features, such as over 40ha of wild bird habitats, pollen and nectar mixes, as well as bare fallow. We manage 103 ponds and 103 kilometers of hedgerow. Through our annual tree planting initiatives and the addition of 400 meters of hedgerow last year, we contribute to a wonderfully biodiverse environment that supports a wide array of animals, fostering a thriving ecosystem.
For example we are delighted to have 12 different species of bird on the UKs red list living at Dennington, and we are working hard to create the correct habitats for several more special species.
Woodland
There is 100ha of woodland at Dennington Hall Farms comprising a mixture of both ancient deciduous woodland and more commercial poplars and conifers. We actively manage several areas of woodland and plant on average over 100 trees a year.
We treasure our pockets of ancient and native woodlands as both a historic land use and a vital ecosystem. We are dedicated to preserving and sustaining these woodlands for the future, ensuring their continued contribution to the English landscape and biodiversity.
