Early in 2024 we became custodians of this lovely 65 acre site.
It starts on the bank of the River Seph, with lots of wonderful veteran trees. There are also some spectacular old trees alongside Breck Gill, and in our other ghylls too.
As the land goes up the valley side, it includes some beautiful unimproved grass meadows. These have a wide variety of wild flowers.
Towards the upper reaches, there is some upland grass, and young woodland which was planted by previous owners in 2019.
We will be planting some trees here, to extend the woodland cover. This will link the existing young woodland with other nearby woods, which is great for wildlife. As we always do, we will incorporate clearings, paths, ponds and other features within our plans. We’ll also keep the young trees well away from the precious veteran trees.
There are several footpaths on or near to this site, including one near the top, one which crosses the upper part, and one along the banks of the River Seph.
How about being a part of this lovely habitat restoration project? You can dedicate a young tree, a young tree with a personalised plaque, a gorgeous ancient tree, or a Century Old Tree here. These trees are accessible in daylight hours, using public footpaths.
