Family Heritage
This has been home to our family for neary 150 years
Nestled in the rolling hills of verdant North Herefordshire, the Whittern Estate is a historic farm with a passion for contemporary decadence. Once a mixed arable farm, the family chose to take the road less travelled: cultivating blackcurrants, a quintessential flavour of the British countryside.
Fantastic Bike Tour
“We had a fantastic time being guided by Jo! The bikes are great fun to ride, the views of the farm are beautiful and the local produce and wine is delicious. Couldn’t have asked for more on a sunny day in Herefordshire!”
