Summary - Moor Lane Barn, Hawkswick, SKIPTON BD23 5QA
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large conservation and sporting opportunity within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
288.49 acres of heather moorland and semi‑wooded scar
A rare 288.49-acre block of heather moorland and semi-wooded scar in the heart of Littondale, inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The parcel rises from Hawkswick village to a limestone scar and plateau, offering extensive sporting, biodiversity and natural capital potential. A traditional stone lunch hut and vehicular access from Moor Lane are included.
The land currently produces income from an Environmental Stewardship Scheme (£6,233.40 per annum) and has been subject to restoration work since 2009. It is designated open access land and hosts several red-listed species, presenting immediate opportunities for biodiversity enhancement and participation in future environmental schemes.
Important practical points: the freehold is sold subject to a leaseback of sporting and vermin-control rights to the sellers until 10 December 2033. Two public footpaths cross the holding and a dog exclusion notice runs until 31 October 2028. There are no known utility connections, and parts of the site are at higher flood risk; purchasers should factor access, drainage and management costs into proposals.
This is best suited to a buyer seeking large-scale country land for conservation, sporting, environmental schemes or long-term natural capital investment. The size, situation inside the National Park and existing stewardship income make it a distinctive long-term asset, but the leaseback period, access features and environmental constraints require considered, practical management plans.
