The National Trust acquired the Mottisfont estate in 1957 from Mrs Maud Russell, which includes the Abbey (house), gardens, woodlands, rivers and farmlands over 648 hectares (1645 acres). The land has been managed as a traditional working estate since 1500 and the countryside team at Mottisfont manages 2227 hectares (5500 acres) to maintain access, enhance wildlife habitats and preserve the landscape.
It is a beautiful place to walk throughout the year, but we recommend the spectacular bluebell display in spring, from April to May.
