The Old Estate Yard is part of the Estate of the Duchy of Cornwall.
The Newton Park Estate (when taken together with the adjacent Manor of Inglescombe) is the largest estate in the Duchy of Cornwall outside of Dartmoor and is unique in still retaining the Georgian mansion house of Newton Park and the estate village of Newton St. Loe. The two component estates, however, have very different histories.
The Newton Park Estate was purchased on the death of the 5th Earl Temple in 1941 whereas the Manor of Inglescombe was acquired as part of a larger land swap 520 years earlier back in 1421.
Together they form a block of 6,300 acres within a ring fence on the south west fringe of Bath.
There are 14 farms, more than 100 houses and cottages, 160 hectares of woodland, eight offices and workshops, three village halls, a golf course, two lakes, two recreation fields, a pub, a rugby pitch, about two miles of river bank and a university!
Two significant developments in the village have been the restoration and conversion of a vacant granary in to award winning rural offices and the construction of some retirement cottages enabling retirees to stay in their village in purpose built accommodation.
Cache placed in the grounds of the office of Send a Cow with their kind permission. This organisation are tennants of the Duchy of Cornwall.They are happy for you to look for the cache and visit the keyhole garden behind the wall.
Please hide the cache where you found it. It will take TB’s, geocoins and small items.
FTF has a SAC badge waiting for them.
