The Cowdray Estate encompasses 16500 acres of the west Sussex countryside stretching from the South Downs at Cocking to Midhurst and northwards almost to Haslemere. The estate has an interesting sporting history dating from the 16th century when visiting the estate Queen Elizabeth the 1st bagged a fallow deer (if you partake in one of our simulated game shoots you will see "the queen Elizabeth oak" planted to commemorate her visit). In modern times the sporting tradition has continued with the 2nd and 3rd Viscount playing host to such guests as Winston Churchill, Sir Alec Douglas Hume and The Duke of Edinburgh. Today the Estate has a number of tenant shoots including the famous Cocking shoot renowned for its testing high pheasants and its signature "chalk pit" drive.

Cowdray has always been the home of English polo and hosts, amongst many others the world famous gold cup tournament during July every year. Polo is a fantastic spectator sport and provides an enjoyable and inexpensive afternoons entertainment. The estate also boasts an 18 hole golf course, fantastic holiday cottages and a farm shop providing locally sourced produce.
