[H2] The Journey

Steeped in history, the Hildon Estate as we know it today has been witness to many a story over its lifetime. Stemming back to the early 17th century, it is a feat of architectural wonder and fascination.

[H3] 1989

[H2] Hildon Limited launched

When Hildon founder Christian Heppe purchased the Hildon Estate, he soon discovered the immense purity of the water. Sourced from an underground aquifer deep below the Estate, he launched Hildon Natural Mineral Water, bringing its perfect and consistent composition to the world.

[H4] Rose Hill House to Hildon House

As a grade two listed property, it comes as no surprise that the home of Hildon Natural Mineral Water holds a rich and compelling history. With evidence of the site dating back to around 1802, the land was first graced by Rose Hill House, a gothic style villa described in its sale particulars as 'a modern and elegant mansion'.

[H5] Following a name change to Hildon House, the property was demolished and replaced by a larger, renaissance style residence. Behind the building's sophisticated design was Sir Aston Webb, the architect responsible for the front façade of Buckingham Palace.

[H3] New beginnings

[H2] From a Renaissance Residence to the home of Hildon Natural Mineral Water.

After the demolition of the original Hildon House in 1954, Christian Heppe purchased the remaining coach house and land, where he would then lay the foundations for the pristine tasting water company you know today.

[H3] From a single, protected source to our pristine taste

Stage 1

Rain water falls onto the lush English countryside on our Estate and commences its fifty year journey to our aquifer.
Stage 2

The water passes through multiple layers of porous rock which removes any impurities and imbues the water with beneficial minerals.
Stage 3

Having acquired its unique, balanced taste, the water reaches our underground aquifer ready for extraction.
Stage 4

The water remains untouched underground until it reaches our bottling plant on the Hildon Estate.
Stage 5

Hildon Natural Mineral Water is stylishly bottled in the same pristine state as when it first reached the aquifer.
