Community
We recognise the historic impact of Longford Estate on the local communities and the responsibility we have today as custodians of the land and buildings we own. Supporting the next generation within our local community is important to us and we engage with the local community through village greens, allotment gardens, village halls, rural education access, and charitable donations.

Development
Given the Estates close proximity to Salisbury, and the surrounding satellite villages, sensitive development opportunities to strengthen communities are considered. Where possible, the community’s requirements as well as design, local materials, site layout, landscape and conservation are considered to enhance the settlements.

Woodland
& conservation
Woodlands are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. The Longford Estate prides itself in managing its 770 hectares of woodland to give a commercial return and to provide habitat for wildlife. Plantations of evergreen, mixed deciduous, and native trees are all grown to provide diverse habitat and a range of end uses.

The Longford Estate is comprised of 16,000 acres of land, from the water meadows of the River Avon to the chalk downland in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The diversity of landscape allows for the development of a variety of businesses that, through careful management, enable the Estate to work in synergy with the surrounding countryside.
