Projects

The Manydown Rural Estate is committed to farming and forestry for the long-term, however, we continue to explore new opportunities to diversify our operations. We aim to meet the needs of the local population and the environment, whilst ensuring the Estate remains financially viable and relevant to its communities.

Cobbs@Woodgarston

The proposal is to redevelop the redundant farmyard buildings at Woodgarston to form a characterful farm shop with café, relocating the former Cobbs@Manydown which closed in May 2023. This new farm shop will be named Cobbs@Woodgarston.

Woodgarston Farm lies to the north west of Wootton St Lawrence, on the northern side of the A339 (Kingsclere Road, from Basingstoke to Newbury) and about two miles west of the existing boundary of Basingstoke. The village of Upper Wootton is approximately 0.5 miles from the farm.
