The Farm |
Hunting Hall is a small, traditional family farm of 278 acres, situated between Lowick and Beal. The farm has 230 acres of arable land, a herd of rare breed pigs, and a small flock of organically managed sheep. The business is owned by J D & M Burn, but in 2000 W L Douglas & Son took up a farm business tenancy on the arable land. For the last 10 years William and James Douglas, and J D & M Burn have worked together in a very successful partnership; farming with sensitivity towards the environment and enhancing the countryside for wildlife. As part of Natural England’s Higher Level Stewardship scheme, we have put together an exciting conservation programme for the future which will build upon past achievements and improve the existing landscape. |

Wild Areas Areas of field sown with a pollen and nectar mix become a blue haze of borage and phacelia in the summer, humming with insects. Wild bird seed mixes offer cover and food for farmland birds; those sown with sunflower seeds are particularly beautiful! The Denes Trees and Hedges |

The Land Green Accommodation History In 1951 Fred Burn bought Hunting Hall Farm and now, two generations later, we are aware of the historical and natural heritage in our care. We hope that young visitors to Hunting Hall will discover the fun of exploring the countryside and find ways we can all work together to look after our environment. |
