Brief description

Boarstall Tower: "Fourteenth-century moated gatehouse, built by John de Haudlo and once part of a fortified manor house, set in gardens. Discover seven centuries of history on one of our guided tours. 2012 marked the 700th birthday of this amazing tower."

Boarstall Duck Decoy: "A rare survival of a seventeenth-century duck decoy

The Boarstall Duck Decoy provides a fascinating insight into a rare aspect of British rural life. Once a common sight on rural estates, this sixteenth-century invention for catching waterfowl slowly disappeared. Today, there are only a handful remaining.

The decoy at Boarstall is surrounded by beautiful woodland, with an array of spring flowers including a large display of bluebells. There is an abundance of bird life, with many nesting and feeding sites. The wood is also home to several species of bat."
