About Stourton Estates and Stourton Woods

Stourton Estates and our venue Stourton Woods are family run businesses situated north of Horncastle on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.  We have farmed the land on the estate since the 1920’s and whilst we are mainly an arable farm, livestock is increasingly playing an important role here with herds of Red Deer (introduced in 2012) now happily living in the parks.  We take great care of the environment that we operate within, encouraging wildlife and we are very proud of the diverse range of species that live on the estate.

Over the last 20 years we have diversified our business and created a venue called Stourton Woods.  This has taken place whilst we have carefully restored much of the old Stourton Estate, (previously home to the Livesey family) by responsibly managing the woodland, lakes, and creating rides and safe access for visitors to the venue Stourton Woods.

Our Products at Stourton Estates

We use timber from the estate and other locally sourced Lincolnshire woodlands to produce high quality kiln dried logs, woodchip (suitable for play surfaces) and a range of landscape products including garden bark.  We also produce super healthy, high quality frozen venison from our herds of red deer.

Events at Stourton Woods

We open our doors and hold a number of very popular events and visits each year in the beautiful historical parkland and woodland setting which is now home to herds of majestic Red Deer.  We are dog friendly and we welcome well behaved and responsibly managed dogs on leads to all our events.  We offer guided walks and visits to groups and schools and have supported the Lincs Wolds Outdoor Festival and Walking Festival before it, over the last 10+ years. We run tractor & trailer tours (otherwise known as Farm Safaris) to see the red deer.  We also hold Artisan Markets the magical Enchanted Woodland Lights.
