The Estate is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 0.7 miles from the town of Thompsonville. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with the Alcove Area, Main Alcove Wall and Lower Walls all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the routes run from V1 to V3 on the V scale. The YDS grades for the same routes are 5.6 to 5.8. Among the named routes are Secret Spy at V1, Laser Beam at V2 and Ring Pop at V3. For a change from the rocks, the Walking City Trail Section 3 is about 3 miles away, and the Sudbury Aqueduct Trail and the Charles River Greenway are both within about 3.5 miles.
