Penelope all hooked up to Sally for final packing and checks before we hit the road 🏎❤️
A very special final guest at Ragley! Thank you for your support during the first season of crAve 😘😘
We will miss the sunsets here at final push to get everything back to Sussex.
Covered in chunks of undergrowth and drenched in sweat with no idea how it will all get done in time 😂😂 fond memories of the site setup here .
Birthday vibes @ crAve 🥳🥳
A vegan carrot cake made by with red currants from and flower from . The serving board is from the same quarter sawn oak planks that were used to make the doors for Bertie and Penelope 😍😍
Ahhhhh 🥰
Cosy up in your tent at the edge of the woodland and watch the wind ruffle the fields of barley as the deer brows for snacks 😍😍
Golden hour @ crAve - a long hot bath, the slow warmth of the sunset flowing through the trees and a fire crackling outside getting ready for you to cook up a storm.
Only a couple of weeks now until harvest. The deer prefer the barley when it is small and green - the squirrels have now taken over and can be seen perched at the edges of the field making neat piles of husks.
Crackling coals, BBQ ingredients grown only a few miles away, a roaring fire, a luxurious bath with a view over the rolling hills, a delicious bed with crisp linen, the sound of deer calls and owl hoots as you drift off to sleep…
Fireside warmth under the trees just before sunset 🌅
BBQ time as the day cools and the wind settles.
Wherever crAve On Tour goes, we aim to partner with local food suppliers for our BBQ and breakfast hampers to make sure the produce is fresh and local. Massive thank you to our Ragley suppliers and 🥇🙏🙏
Breakfast time as the day warms up and the crickets begin to chirp among the wild flowers
All calm after a hot summers day. Everyone is settled in for an evening by the fire to watch the moon rise over the trees.
Sally feeling fresh after the first bit of rain in weeks. What a wonderful machine 😍
A cool cheesecake on a hot summer day… lovingly custom made by with fresh rose petals from 😍😍😍 thank you both for helping to create this memorable experience for our guests.
The ever-changing view from Penelope’s tent. The clouds roll, the deer pass and the crops gradually lighten as we approach harvest time. The very best of the British countryside.
Penelope nestled in her patch of woodland after long day basking in the sun ❤️
Fawn in stealth mode… 👀🤫
Soo many deer out snacking on the crops as we head towards harvest. Bring your binoculars!
Sally adventuring
The trees cast amazing shadows on the Berties’s tent as the day draws to a close and everything falls still 😌🥰
Blissful relaxation in Penelope’s bath ❤️❤️
Such a fun session shooting with and for the crAve video 🤩 thank you both 🙏😘
Dusk is settling, the birds are going to sleep, the deer are having a last nibble on the barley and the fire is crackling gently…
Filming with complete 🚀🚀! Watch out for the crAve on Tour video coming soon 👀
Getting wood split and ready for guests tomorrow. These two made the cut to come on the road with crAve. The small forest axe and small splitting axe by . The perfect combination for light splitting, clearing and a spot of spoon making 😍😍
Summer evening
Sally doing her thang ❤️❤️ getting ready for our first guest this weekend 🤩🚀
We are delighted to have as our local food supplier for crAve 🥳🥳
Emma and Sally and the team at Hillers have created an amazing setup that includes the farm shop, cafe, interiors shop and a garden centre.
crAve guests will be able to order breakfast and BBQ hampers with delicious local produce, some of which is grown/reared right here on the Ragley Estate!
The view from crAve ❤️❤️so many deer enjoying a light snack on the crops. This spot is absolute magic 🤩🤩
We are making solid progress preparing the site… watch this space for the first sneak peek of the setup.
Sally is now back in her element ❤️❤️. After a long drive up to from Sussex she is now getting her paws dirty 🐾.
While one the motorway there was an odd whining noise… it turns out the backdraft caused by the trailer tucked the mud flap under the exhaust 🤷

Sally in her element 😍😍 We have been exploring the Warwickshire countryside looking for the perfect spot for our second crAve installation of 2021. We found it just at the end of this track... 🤩🤩 #defender #landrover #glamping #luxury #camping #london #warwickshire #dji #offroad #spring
The third member of the crAve herd has arrived 🤩😍🤩 She is a wonderfully capable Land Rover Defender called Sally. Originally from East Sussex, she has returned to her home county after a decade adventuring in West Sussex. Despite nearly two decades on the road she has a practically immaculate chassis and low mileage. We have decided to transform her into a heritage tribute Defender, giving her a makeover with a nod to the very first Land Rover...
