We were delighted to take on this 32 acre site in Wensleydale, in late 2022.
This is largely traditional meadow, divided into two fields.
Surveys suggest that one field is perfect for curlews, lapwings and other waders to make their nests. We will manage it to preserve this precious habitat.
The other is very rich in wild flowers, including huge quantities of yellow rattle, along with knapweed, eyebright, harebell, self heal, and many others. You can dedicate a ‘Living Wildflower Bouquet’ as an unusual gift here. We look forward to improving its biodiversity even more, in due course.
Priest Bank is situated off the Roman Road near Bainbridge. You can dedicate wildflowers here, and if you would like access to see them, get in touch info@makeitwild.co.uk.
This site is not generally open to the public.
To learn more about the site, its wildlife and our work, you can view the location on Restor here.
