Grasslands | Herdship Farm

Herdship Farm nestles into the wild North Pennines - the very backbone of England - as bleak as it is beautiful. And though it might look like a wilderness, it is here in the upper reaches of Teesdale that you can find one of the richest grasslands in the country. When Spring arrives, it bursts into life. From a distance it looks like any other farmland - but take a closer look and it is farmland with a difference. Forget agricultural deserts devoid of life - this is a rich man made habitat, bursting with flowers and birds.

Return to Grasslands

The British Isles is a landscape of natural pasture. The variation in habitats is astounding and there are amazing places to see nature.
