The 50 acres of beautiful rolling pasture and ancient valley woodlands that surround the barns at Kestle Barton are farmed with a mixture of traditional and innovative management. Small historic fields are being restored from large modern ones by recreating Cornish hedges and hedgerows planted with a wide selection of local trees and shrubs. Within this ancient field pattern, a one hundred and twenty tree orchard of old Cornish apple, cherry and plum varieties has been planted next to a newly created species-rich hay meadow, already a haven for butterflies, bees and grassland birds, as well as spectacular summer floral display of some forty seven different species of flowering plants and grasses.
