The Exton Estate is a historic English estate located in Rutland, England.

The Exton Estate is a historic English estate located in Rutland, England. It has been the home of the Noel family, the Earls of Gainsborough, for over four centuries. The estate dates back to the 12th century and has been visited by many famous people, including Shakespeare and Handel.

The current Earl of Gainsborough is Anthony Baptist Noel, who succeeded as the 6th Earl of Gainsborough in 2009. The family has faced financial difficulties in the past, leading to the sale of some of their land. However, they remain one of the largest landowners in the county.

Exton Hall, the main house on the estate, was built in the 19th century and is now used for various purposes, including weddings, corporate events, and film shoots. The estate also includes the ruins of the original Tudor mansion, which burned down in the early 19th century.

A Day at the Global Birdfair

I spent a fantastic day at the Global Birdfair today at Lyndon Top, Rutland Water. The new location is absolutely stunning, with the event nestled perfectly amidst the beautiful English countryside.

There was a truly incredible atmosphere, with bird enthusiasts from all walks of life coming together to share their passion. From the moment I arrived, there was so much to see and do. Stalls brimming with the latest birdwatching equipment, expert talks on conservation, and fascinating displays of wildlife photography kept me captivated.

Of course, no event would be complete without delicious food and refreshing drinks, and the Birdfair certainly delivered on that front. I indulged in some tasty treats while soaking up the lively ambiance.

If you haven't made it to the Birdfair yet, I highly recommend you do! Sunday is the final day, so there's still plenty of time to explore, learn, and be inspired. Don't miss out on this incredible celebration of birds and nature.
