PERMISSIVE ACCESS SCHEME
The sandy paths of the Estate make for easy walking and much of the woodland area has been opened up for public access under a Permissive Access scheme in partnership with the Forestry Commission. The bluebells and foxgloves in spring make a wonderful sight in recently coppiced chestnut plantations and the North Downs Way long distance footpath is a focal point for many of the local walks as it winds through the estate.

HORSE RIDING PERMIT SCHEME
Not only do walkers enjoy the tracks and paths but the Estate also runs a horse riding permit scheme to help give alternative safe routes for local riders. The number of riders is limited and each member is issued with an annual bridle tag on payment of a fee. Again the route links existing bridleways with Puttenham Common and provides a variety of open fields, field headlands and wooded tracks which make for safe off road paths away from local traffic.

FILMING LOCATION
The Estate is used as a filming location and provides a wide variety of buildings, backdrops, landscapes and environments for both stills and motion photography. The proximity of the Estate to the major film studios make it an ideal venue especially when working on day rates.

The most recent major production filmed on location at Hampton Estate was “The Hollow” an LWT Poirot Production featuring David Suchet and Edward Fox.

WEDDING VENUES 
The Estate is hosting wedding receptions in conjunction with Occasional Cuisine, local caterers who specialise in providing a total wedding service. Receptions can  be held in a customised marquee in the park overlooking the lakes during the summer months. For further information please view: www.occasionalcuisine.co.uk
