Visit to Coleshill and Buscot Estate – Hands on History

This rural estate managed by the National Trust lies on the West Oxfordshire border, comprising two very English villages and 11 traditionally farmed estates spanning 7,000 acres. We’ll arrive in time for coffee and biscuits in the Timber Store at Coleshill Model Farm, our base for the day. Then we’ll divide into 2 groups either on a talking tour led by General Manager, Christian Walker, to see the new Heritage Skills spaces, dropping in on Tom Ball, a stone and wood carver at work, or for a live demonstration by local blacksmith, Dave Cobalt. Lunch will be available from Carpenters’ Yard Café. In the afternoon we regroup for either the talking tour or the blacksmith’s demo. Later, Countryside Manager, Richard Watson, will give a short presentation on the restoration of the Parkland area
