The Berkeley Estate is a four-part documentary series made for HTV and Icon Films Bristol. It first aired in 2001.
Host Chris Chapman, a photographer, observes a year in the life of the Berkeley Estate, the oldest family-owned estate in England. The first 3 parts (The Farmers, The Keepers and The Custodians) document ancient farming, hunting and fishing traditions as they have evolved over time. In Part 4 (The Cull) the estate is plagued by foot-and-mouth disease.
The Berkeley Estate was directed by John Booth.
