'Incredibly rare' opportunity to buy stunning land in one of most remote areas of The Yorkshire Dales

The landscape being sold features peat moorland and hill, nestling at the foot of Pen-Y-Ghent and offers natural capital, amenity, biodiversity and environmental opportunities.

It benefits from the income of a Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme which currently generates £22,450.64 a year and is host to a range of red list flora and fauna, which presents potential for biodiversity enhancement.

Cosh Beck rises on the land and flows to join the River Skirfare and eventually the River Wharfe.

Will Douglas, director in the rural agency team at Savills in York and whose team is handling the sale, says: “The availability of this land represents an incredibly rare opportunity, and a very exciting one at that. In addition to the natural capital, amenity, biodiversity and environmental opportunities that the land offers, there is significant potential for further enhancement through reprofiling, grip blocking, and revegetating.

"There is also potential revenue through peatland carbon credits and there is the possibility of lucrative opportunities through Natural Flood Management. This is a sale we suspect will capture the imagination of many interested buyers.”
