Wild Ken Hill - Norfolk
Stage - Ongoing
Heacham Bottom Farm, now the Wild Ken Hill project site, is a forward-thinking landscape restoration initiative within the wider Ken Hill Estate.
The vision was to include the principles of regenerative agriculture, traditional conservation and rewilding, to showcase the estate's wildlife and food production potential. The landscape design integrates these approaches, offering a range of experiences for visitors. A new restaurant and cafe replaced the grain store, respecting the agricultural heritage. Paths were designed across the site to wind through native plantings.
The project aims to uplift biodiversity and create a managed yet wild landscape that provides a glimpse into the wider landscape’s natural systems. It is designed to showcase how food production, wildlife and visitor enjoyment can coexist harmoniously.
