KINGSDALE HEAD 

The team at Kingsdale Head are at the beginning of a long journey to bring a greater diversity of life back into the landscape, and London House are very proud to be involved in this  inspiring project aiding with the engineering of the natural energy and water supply.
 
Kingsdale Head covers 1,500 acres of dramatic upland landscape on the north west corner of the Yorkshire Dales. Like much of the Yorkshire Dales, this land has been subject to heavy sheep grazing as well as land drainage over many years, which has had a significant impact on the plants and wildlife on the site.  Kingsdale Head is working towards the recovery of a huge range of habitats, wildlife and all of the landscape's carbon storage potential.

In order to regenerate the landscape, the farm is taking a different approach to upland management, by using a small herd of cattle to change the impact of the grazing, whilst also actively re-introducing more native shrubs and trees into the landscape. This holistic approach will also support more natural regeneration over a much longer timescale creating a mosaic of habitats across the farm where nature thrives.   

Ultimately, the vision is a project that's both productive and in harmony with its natural surroundings, not only transforming the landscape but also strengthening the connection to nature and the community.

We are honoured to be part of this journey.
