Clinton Devon Estates

If you are walking on the Estate over the next few weeks, you may spot young roe deer resting quietly on their own in woodland or long grass.

Please don’t worry - this is completely normal. Mother deer often leave their young while they go off to feed, returning at regular intervals to care for them.

We’ve seen several roe deer births across the Estate recently, so we’re asking visitors to be mindful of these new arrivals and help keep them safe. Please keep dogs on a lead and give any young deer plenty of space.

Our Wildlife Ranger, Tom Garner, advises that if you do come across a young roe deer on its own, the best thing to do is leave the area calmly and keep disturbance to a minimum.

To find out more, please see below.

BASC is issuing advice to the public to be mindful of pregnant deer and their newborns while visiting the countryside this spring.

Tree guards play a vital role across our woodland, protecting young trees from harm. But what happens once they are outgrown?

Our dedicated forestry team carefully remove the guards, but it doesn’t stop there…

They recently delivered 12,000 tree shelters and 8,500 tree nets to Tubex Tree Shelters' collection and recycling scheme. These will be recycled, and the materials incorporated into new tree shelters ready for the next round of young trees.

Whilst we try and limit the use of plastic on the Estate, sometimes we need the shelters to provide a microclimate for young trees to grow, and this programme helps us to do that more sustainably.

Last week, our Estate team stepped up to the plate for our annual rounders match!

Being based at Bicton Arena means we have the perfect pitch right on our doorstep, making it the ideal setting for a little friendly competition.

This much loved tradition brings the team together and what makes it even more special is welcoming friends and family to join in the fun.

A fantastic evening of teamwork, laughter, and a few impressive catches!

In June 2025 our tenant Beer Quarry Caves Official welcomed a Hollywood film crew!

The caves were transformed into a filming location for the new Masters of the Universe film, which came out in cinemas last week (3rd June).

Chosen for their dramatic limestone caverns and truly otherworldly atmosphere, the caves did not disappoint.

Knowing this unique part of Devon was selected for the big screen has been a fantastic experience for everyone involved.

If you'd like to experience the location yourself, why not join one of their guided tours and explore the underground world that caught Hollywood's attention? Visit their website to find out more: https://www.beerquarrycaves.co.uk

Exciting, but secretive times up at Beer Quarry Caves are coming to an end as the project to film Masters of the Universe using the caves as a film set comes to an end. The crew now have the job of packing up and moving on, with the caves reopening on Monday 23rd June. The guides should have some new fun stories to tell!!
