Discover The

Welbeck

Estate

Welbeck is one of the great historic country estates, set within 15,000 acres of forest and rolling hills in North Nottinghamshire.

In the heart of the estate is Welbeck Abbey, founded as a monastery in 1153. After the Dissolution, the Abbey was bought by Bess of Hardwick’s youngest son, Sir Charles Cavendish. It descended through the family and became the country seat to a succession of Dukes of Portland.
