Peace and Quiet
Immerse yourself in the peaceful and tranquil surrounds of the farm, explore our small nature rich section of Mosedale beck beyond our flower rich hay meadows, and in spring see the lambs.
Situated half way between Penrith and Keswick, and across the valley from Scales. There is easy access to the many attraction of the North Lakes. Before you head off in the car you can walk across part of Matterdale common to meet the coach road from your pod or bike from the door.
Conservation work
Highgate Close and Glencoyne are both in Higher Level Stewardship schemes. This means we have signed up to environmental management over all the land we farm.
Some areas have no sheep or cows, some areas have only cattle grazing, all our management is done to improve biodiversity, help slow the water runoff to reduce the impacts of flooding and protect the vast areas of peat bogs that are important carbon sinks. We cut our traditional meadows, using no artificial fertiliser, later so flower seeds can set. We have planted new trees and have large areas of natural tree regeneration enabled by reduced stocking rates.
