Winderwath Estate is a private estate located just west of Temple Sowerby. The estate is just launching a 10 year programme of habitat restoration through the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS). During the next 10 years over £100,000 will be invested in the creation, restoration and management of unimproved grassland, bog, riparian habitats and field boundaries. The estate is keen to allow access to the estate for educational purposes to enable students to explore their local environment, learn about changes in the management of the countryside and, where appropriate, undertake research.
