Established in 1996

Situated near Leeds, on the confluence of the Rivers Aire and Calder, Methley Estate is part of Mexborough Estates and has been owned by the Savile family since the fifteenth century.

The estate was once home to Methley Hall, which was constructed in 1588. Having been requisitioned by the army during both the first and second world wars, the hall also became subject to significant mining subsidence and extensive dry rot and was sadly demolished in the late 1950s.

Our farm manager planted the first tree in 1996 and now the farm has 18,000 trees being grown at any one time… so there are plenty to choose from!
