About Ascott Estate
A 4,400 acre estate featuring the National Trust-owned Ascott House and Gardens
Lionel de Rothschild acquired the Ascott Estate in 1873 for his son, Leopold, transforming it into a fashionable country house for entertaining guests. In 1889, Leopold de Rothschild purchased the original Ascott Farms, which spans 3,500 acres of picturesque farmland in the rolling hills of Aylesbury Vale. The farm primarily focuses on arable farming, cultivating various crops, including winter and spring cereals, field beans, grass, and parkland.
After Leopold's death in 1917, the estate has been passed on through several generations to the current heirs who continue to be closely connected to, and involved with, Ascott Farm and Estate. This includes Ascott House and Gardens which in 1949 was gifted to the National Trust by Anthony Gustav de Rothschild.
