Description
Partridge Meadow is a mixed space consisting of mature native woodland, former pasture land and undulating raised ground. This creates a perfect mix of spaces to spend time enjoying this picturesque region, whether that is planting trees, rewilding, managing woodland or recreation.
Access is via a galvanised vehicle gate that leads directly from the quiet, unnamed public highway onto a hardstanding turning circle that is suitable for all road vehicles. This entrance point immediately welcomes you into the mature woodland, consisting mainly of beech and scots pine. One could easily while away the hours in these trees or make your way up the hill further into the meadow, where mature trees make way for stunning views, rich meadow flora and flatter ground suitable for camping or similar activities.
A second access point is available via the access track to the east, which runs from the main highway to a gate at the lower point of the meadow.
Wandering further into the meadow will see you drop down to the lowest point, where a small gully is formed with the higher ground further to the south. This space is more private and sheltered than elsewhere on site and makes the perfect spot for sitting and waiting for wildlife to cautiously reappear from nearby undergrowth and woodland. Expect sightings of various birds of prey, many species of game birds and smaller mammals such as hares and rabbits.
The boundary between the meadow and the public road is well-maintained dry stone wall with occasional mature hedgerow tree. All other boundaries are dry stone walls that are traditional to this region.
Grant funding is likely available to a new owner for both woodland creation and new hedgerows along the boundaries. Please note that this land is not suitable for development. Early viewing is advised.

Access, tracks and footpaths
The meadow is accessed directly from the public highway, ensuring year round vehicular access direct to the meadow. A pad of hardstanding at the entrance offers a place to park vehicles. There are no public rights of way across the land.
Rights and covenants
As is the case for all our meadows, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the meadow.
Local area and history
This meadow sits just outside the small, rural village of Renwick in Eastern Cumbria, nestled at the foot of the North Pennine hills but with Lake District fells not too far away.
This area has long been associated with sheep farming, with records of this industry stretching back centuries. Small pockets of woodland do exist in the area as other landowners have sought to diversify the usage of this region.
Local legend describes a mythical dragon-like creature, known as the Renwick Cockatrice, that once haunted residents. Fear not, this beast is not wildlife you will encounter at Partridge Meadow as it was reportedly slain by local hero John Tallentire in the 18th century.
