About Us

As a family business, Woodhall Estate brings together diverse people, communities and enterprises. We apply a cutting-edge approach to traditional principles and always set the highest of standards with the long-term future at the heart of every decision.

Our diverse business includes property, farming and land management, nature conservation and regeneration, hospitality and events. Education, research and charitable activities are also important parts of what we do.

Woodhall has been owned and run by the Abel Smith family for over 200 years. Today the family traditions prevail. Whilst the estate is managed by a professional team, it is done so with the personal oversight and direction of the family. This makes continuity, enduring high standards and long-termism distinguishing features of the estate.
