Lime Kiln Wood

A rare opportunity to purchase a block of amenity woodland located on the edge of the Lake District National Park and extending to 12.66 acres [5.12 hectares].

Particulars
to approximately 12.66 acres [5.12 hectares], situated on an east-facing limestone escarpment between Lindale and Grange over Sands.

It is designated as Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW) and comprises a variety of broadleaf species including Oak, Ash, Yew, Beech, Sycamore, Downy Birch and Hazel. This delightful woodland offers a variety of habitat and a wealth of flora and fauna, including bluebells and woodland bird species.

The woodland is privately owned by a Trust and has been managed primarily for the purposes of conservation and quiet enjoyment. A woodland management plan has been in place over recent years and the woodland has been actively managed to boost biodiversity, including thinning and coppicing of hazel. Further details are available on the Trust’s website www.limekilnwood.org.uk
The woodland rises from the roadside to offer views of the surrounding countryside and across to Morecambe Bay. Boundaries consist primarily of dry-stone walls and are generally in good condition. There is vehicular access via a gateway directly off the B5277 (Lindale Road).
Within the heart of the woodland lies a former Lime Kiln, used during the Victorian age to process locally quarried limestone into lime. The structure of the Lime Kiln was carefully stabilised and restored by the current owners in 2018.
