I had such an enjoyable morning, chatting to Clare about how The Oteley Estate balances history and innovation on the edge of Ellesmere, Shropshire.

Those saddleback pigs and piglets snuffling round the ancient walls in the sunshine were a joyful welcome as I arrived! (You will be hearing all about them).

An estate, run by the same family for over 500 years, has quite a story to tell and Clare, rightly feels that people are 'hungry' for the story behind the brand. 

With Clarkson's Farm highlighting all the difficulties facing farming, people are beginning to learn what it takes to produce quality food. The Oteley team are making a brilliant job of showing you just what you are getting for your money.

The  "On Hunting" podcast is a ground breaker in opening up discussion to a wider audience about the countryside and its wildlife. Again the battle is on in our modern world, to preserve the traditions for the people who go trail hunting as well as it being best placed to look after our wildlife.
On Hunting's  latest episode is with Charlie Pye-Smith, whose book "Rural Wrongs" explains evidence being ignored by opponents to trail hunting.

With a title a quotation from Joseph Conrad's novella "Heart of Darkness," "A Dream and a Fear  covers stories of unimaginable hardship and bravery in the Golden Age of Antarctic Exploration to the Titanic disaster.
Hugo gives us a nostalgic look at the bravery of the Great Explorers- but it is the modern world's challenges, which Hugo is taking  on, as he sets off on his own travels, exploring living on the edge for himself.
The  "On Hunting" podcast is a ground breaker in opening up discussion to a wider audience about the countryside and its wildlife. Again the battle is on in our modern world, to preserve the traditions for the people who go trail hunting as well as it being best placed to look after our wildlife.
On Hunting's  latest episode is with Charlie Pye-Smith, whose book "Rural Wrongs" explains evidence being ignored by opponents to trail hunting.

It was very special indeed to be taken to feed the deer in the park and to chat to David, about his work on The Rhug Estate in North Wales, where he is Head Keeper. 
On shoot days the job of ensuring clients' expectations are met, organising beaters, game carts, 'picker uppers,' and all their dogs is a work of art...whether it be with champagne and canapés or bacon butties!
As Chairman of the National Gameskeepers Organisation he is doing a lot to educate young people about the way his part of the Rural Economy works.

At Knightsbridge barracks he then went through the Cavalry training and progressed up the ladder to becoming The Riding Master in charge of..." the jangling swords...cuirasses and  200 horses' hooves which still make the hair stand up on the back of your neck to this day."
