Overview

Hawarden Estate is described as one of Britain's most creative and beautiful private estates, located on the edge of North Wales beside Chester. It is home to a 13th-century fortification with iron-age origins and an 18th-century castle once home to four-time Prime Minister William Gladstone. Over the past twenty years, two generations of the Gladstone family have restored and reinvigorated the estate through renovation of historic buildings, a giant walled garden, new businesses, restoration of wild meadows and woodland, and conversion of farmland to organic. The estate encompasses a multi-award-winning Farm Shop and restaurant, holiday homes, The Glynne Arms pub (AA Welsh Pub of the Year 2020), a campsite, The Walled Garden School, Summer Camp, corporate hire, and wedding venues.

History

Hawarden Estate is a private estate on the edge of North Wales beside the Roman city of Chester. It is home to a 13th-century fortification with iron-age origins and an 18th-century castle once home to four-time Prime Minister William Gladstone. For the past twenty years, the estate has been in transition as two generations of the Gladstone family restore and reinvigorate it through renovation of historic buildings and a giant walled garden, the creation of new businesses, the restoration of wild meadows and woodland, and the conversion of farmland to organic. In recent years, the estate has evolved to encompass a range of event spaces and venues.
