Detailed Description

The Estate are seeking a tenant to farm 91.26 acres of registered organic Grade 3 Parkland, working in partnership with the owners to meet its objectives of Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship. These are parkland fields in the core of the Estate. Trebartha Hall was demolished after the Second World War, but the Latham family enjoy the use of the parkland.

The land is located 2.2 miles (3.5km) from the A30 (Plusha junction), split into a small handful of convenient parkland fields. The land is comprised of gently sloping fields of grazing pasture separated by the River Lynher. In 2024 the Estate entered the land into a Higher Tier Stewardship Scheme to restore the historic parkland, allowing for amongst other things new stockproof fencing and additional livestock water troughs.
Trebartha Estates Ltd is a family company owned by descendants of the original purchaser of the Estate in 1940 Edward Locks-Latham and dedicated shareholders manage the 5,000 acre estate with a focus on sustainable stewardship.
