Our Story
Made in Lincolnshire
We are Wildings
Situated on 350 acres of private farmland that hugs the meandering Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire border, We Are Wildings is a back-to-nature countryside escape for families, couples, and dog lovers alike. Still a traditional working farm, this special place has been thoughtfully reimagined by the Arden family into a stunning collection of meticulously restored barns and charming hideaways. These old agricultural buildings have been brought back to life and now offer the most exceptional place to unwind, switch off and create unforgettable memories.
Three Generations
For three generations, the Arden family have lovingly nurtured this perfect pocket of English countryside – a place they proudly call home. Over the years, the land has been gently shaped by the changing seasons, a commitment to hard work, and a deep abiding respect for the natural world. Through passion, perseverance and no small amount of blood, sweat and tears this patch of land carries the imprint of those who have poured their hearts into it. Each hedgerow, footpath and field tells a story of quiet stewardship and care, passed down from one generation to the next. Though time brings inevitable change, there remains a strong desire from the current Arden clan to hold onto what matters – tradition, true identity and a real sense of belonging.
The Renovation
After dedicating years to carefully considered detail and architectural design, beautifully restored farm property now stands in place of the old crumbling buildings. And although the journey was long and slow, the result was absolutely worth the wait. With an obsession for tradition and love for local craftmanship, We Are Wildings happily invites all to share in and be part of something truly authentic.
Committed to Sustainability
Today, that same care and attention lives on through an unfaltering commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and renewable energy. This eco-conscious ethos runs through the veins of the family and is undeniably echoed in every detail across the estate. The We Are Wildings experience stands out as a true celebration of rural Britain and showcases the very best of county living.
“To us the We Are Wildings project signifies new growth – It’s always been about more than simply just renovating old farm buildings – it’s been a complete re-imagining of the farm’s future and the lives of the next generations to come. Not just about bricks and beams – but a labour of love that has brought fresh energy and positivity into our family. And as we re-built working side-by-side, humbled by the process we reconnected, laughed more, and dreamt bigger. This place has always given so much to us, and we couldn’t be more proud or excited at the fact that we now get to share it with you!”
