Welcome to Stody Estate, a family-run, diversified and ever-evolving estate located in the heart of North Norfolk’s finest rolling countryside.
We offer visitors access to one of the largest and most dramatic rhododendron and azalea gardens in the country each May and, through our unique selection of commercial and residential properties, the opportunity to live and work in the beautiful Glaven Valley. The Estate also has extensive farming, conservation, forestry, water management and renewable operations as well as a strong commitment to education and local charities.
Stody Lodge is renowned for its extensive collection of rhododendrons and azaleas which burst into spectacular colour each spring. A walk through its stunning four-acre Azalea Water Gardens, believed to be the largest single planting of brightly-coloured Azalea mollis in the country (over 2,000 plants), is a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
