288.49 acres (116.75 hectares) of sporting moorland and semi wooded
scar in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park
Description
INTRODUCTION
The sale represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase 288.49 acres (116.75 hectares) of heather moorland and a semi wooded scar within the spectacular valley of Littondale inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The limestone scar which comprises a mixture of bracken, grass, trees and scree rises steeply from behind the village of Hawkswick to meet the more gently sloping plateau of predominantly heather moorland above.
The land falls within the height range of 220- 490 metres above sea level. Upon the southern edge of the moorland area is a traditional stone-built lunch hut with a slate roof. The land also benefits from vehicular access from the public highway via an access track which leads from Hawkswick village.
The sale offers significant use opportunities for natural capital, biodiversity, environmental, sporting and amenity. The land also benefits from the income of an Environmental Stewardship Scheme currently generating £6,233.40 per annum with potential to increase using other environmental schemes.
The land is host to a range of red listed flora and fauna with obvious potential for biodiversity enhancement. The extensive areas of moorland have been subject to restoration through the current Agri- Environment Scheme which has been in place since November 2009.
The sale of the land will be subject to a leaseback arrangement whereby the Sellers will be able to continue to exercise the sporting and vermin control rights over the land and the adjoining Arncliffe Moor (totaling 1,620 acres) until 10th December 2033. The Sellers and Purchaser will thereafter work together to manage the land for their mutual benefit
