Lot 1 Old Broadgate Farm, Millom, Cumbria

An exceptional block of productive meadow land and woods with excellent road access just outside the national park.

Situation - Old Broadgate Farm lies at the southern end of The Lake District National Park, in iconic Cumbrian countryside famed for its scenery and strong agricultural tradition. It is positioned just to the east of Black Combe Fell, looking over the estuary of Wordsworth’s beloved “Majestic Duddon, over smooth flat sands gliding in silence with unfettered sweep.”
The land rises from the Black Beck to the top of Knock Fell facing southwest over the Duddon estuary about three miles from the charming market town of Broughton-in-Furness. The Green is the nearest village it offers a variety of local shops and services including a post office, village pub, baker/coffee shop and village shop. The nearby towns of Millom and Ulverston offer a wider range of services and schooling and Sedbergh School (independent boarding school) is about 43 miles away.
Junction 36 of the M6 is about 40 miles from where it is easy to reach Lancaster, Carlisle and Manchester. There is also an excellent rail service with links from The Green and Ulverston to the main West Coast rail line and London Euston (in under three hours).
The farmland is easily accessible to the A595 (Carlisle to Wigtown Road) and nearby coastal routes. Ravenglass Train Station (12 miles) on the West Coast Main Line, offers frequent services to Edinburgh, Manchester and London. The nearest airport is Leeds Bradford International (93 miles), which provides both domestic and international flights

Description - Excellent high quality meadowland for conservation and grazing extending to about 35.87 acres. It is gently undulating and well drained towards the Black Beck along its eastern boundary and with excellent shelter from about 10 acres of amenity woodland.
