Viewing Our Landscape with Fresh Eyes
ABOUT US

Home to The Blue Pool Nature Reserve & Tearooms, The Furzebrook Estate represents one of the most ecologically diverse habitats in the United Kingdom. A Site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Estate consists of rolling meadows, rare heathland, ancient woodland, lakes and waterways with many rare species of plant and animals.
Protecting our natural world, providing a safe place for nature to thrive.
Due to the Estates rich mining heritage and the historical production of blue Ball Clay for distribution around the world, the land has a complex topography making it unsuitable for farming but consequently perfect for nature.
