High in the Devon hills above the Taw/Torridge estuaries Webbery Manor Estate is an oasis of rural tranquillity. Steeped in history and with several noteworthy owners, Webbery Manor Estate was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book. It was given to Nicholas the Crossbowman, by a grateful William the Conqueror as a Saxon manor. In the 17th century, it passed to the Lippincott family, one of whom set sail with the Mayflower flotilla to settle in America. In the 18th century, John Cutcliffe, the grandson of the owner, fought at the Battle of Waterloo and was personally promoted by the Duke of Wellington.
The properties are set in 45 acres of parkland and woods, with a large variety of wild mushrooms alongside grazing sheep, deer, tawny and little owls, pheasants, various birds of prey and other wildlife is regularly sighted. The delightful gardens have numerous specimen trees and banks of rhododendrons giving a spectacular spring display. The two walled kitchen gardens are stocked with espaliered fruit trees, flowers and vegetables, including Romanesco, Cavelo Nero, and Pink Fir Apple potatoes. The produce is complimentary subject to season and availability.
