The Cowdray Estate
Cowdray House and the Estate date back to 1273, when the original manor house was built across the River Rother from the town of Midhurst in West Sussex. Over five centuries Cowdray Estate has secured a reputation for being one of the greatest sporting estates and picturesque locations in England.
Home of the Viscount Cowdray, the family have owned the estate since 1908. They have welcomed friends and guests to share in their love of sport and wellbeing.
