Hazel Head Farm
Hazel Head Farm
Thank you for your interest…
….In what we think is a great opportunity for the right people to work at Hazel Head Farm in the coming years with us in the National Trust. Since our current Tenant gave notice in 2020, we’ve been working really hard to look at how farming in balance with nature will continue here and how we will work closely with our new Tenant to make a successful partnership for everyone, and how the right person could make the most of the opportunities that this farm offers, both in agricultural, but also diversified business terms.
This farm is in an amazing part of the Lake District that is loved by millions – the area is so special that, in 2017, the Lake District became a World Heritage Site as a Cultural Landscape – in no small part due to the way in which people have interacted with and been influenced by the landscape over hundreds of years. Farming has been one of the key elements of this and we are working to help it continue.
It’s a time of real change and uncertainty within the agricultural industry and the future is unclear – but we believe that it is also a time of opportunity for you and for us. We are really clear that we want a successful farming enterprise here that also helps us meet our national strategy, our ambition for the land – a shared purpose for the countryside. We know that we can achieve this by working together – through the period of change and uncertainty and beyond into what we hope will be a strong long term relationship.
Thank you again for your interest in Hazel Head Farm. Please read on to find out more information about the farm.

Our ask
Firstly, have a read of this document, and if you like what you read, and you would like to view the holding, then you will need to fill out and return a ‘pre-viewing application form’ and then based on an assessment of your application you may be invited to attend the viewing day. The viewing day gives you the opportunity to talk with us to understand what we are after in greater detail and also have a good look round the farm to get a better understanding about the opportunities involved. If it feels like this could be for you, think about what the future might look like if you were the tenant of Hazel Head Farm. If you then consider you are the right person for this opportunity, we will need management proposals and a tender for the tenancy, which is for a traditional Lake District Farm with a landlord’s flock of Herdwick sheep, situated at Ulpha, in the Western Lake District. We also want to hear as much as possible about your ideas for the farm, and most importantly, understand how you will work with us to make this opportunity a success for you and for the National Trust.

Background information
Hazel Head Farm lies within the Duddon Valley in the Western Lake District. It came to the National Trust in 1950 from the Reverend H.H. Symonds, a significant figure in the establishment of National Parks in the UK, with a particular focus on the Lake District, and a keen conservationist.
The Farm is an upland farm with grazing rights on the neighbouring Ulpha Common, and is nestled on the edge of Crosby Gill. There is a mosaic of grassland of various types, some of which is valued as hay meadow and some enhancement has been carried out in 2020. Running through the farm is a SSSI woodland, notable for its’ Atlantic Oak characteristic, and this is a significant feature of the valley. There were previous settlements which made up a more populated landscape, and there is evidence of these buildings as ruins and archaeological feature, which will be preserved.
Maintaining Hazel Head as a working farm is an important objective for the National Trust. The Lake District is inscribed as a ‘continuing cultural landscape’ World Heritage Site. To maintain its global status in this regard, the region must retain its authenticity as a landscape of exceptional beauty which continues to be shaped by an indigenous culture based upon traditional farming. The continuation of traditional farming in the Lake District is therefore a critical pillar in retaining World Heritage status and avoiding the region becoming fossilized as a ‘museum’ of past land-use history.
The farm extends to circa 120 hectares with approximately 10 hectares of forage pasture and approximately 22 hectares of permanent pasture, with the remainder intake/rough grazing. The Farm carries a landlord’s flock of 260 Herdwick sheep including ewes, twinters and hoggs.
The farm has been in an HLS agreement, which has expired.
Hazel Head Farm
The National Trust
We are an independent conservation charity which cares for special places across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We are supported by over 5 million members and 60,000 volunteers and are one of Europe’s leading conservation bodies and one of the largest landowners in the UK. We look after 250,000 hectares of land for the benefit of the nation to achieve an array of objectives ranging from the protection of historic landscapes and features to creating and managing wildlife habitats, with sustainable farming an important mechanism. Conservation of wildlife and landscape has always been part of the Trust’s charitable purpose.
In the Lake District we play a really important role in helping look after this special place and the communities within it and in welcoming the many visitors who come from all round the world to experience it. As part of this, we look after around 44,500 hectares (approx. 1/5 of the National park) including 18,000ha of Common fell land, England’s highest mountain (Scafell) and deepest lake (Wastwater) and 24 lakes and tarns.
Much of this land is split between the 90 farms (54 fell farms) that we have which host some 21,000 sheep, largely Herdwick, as fell going landlord’s flocks; and we also have nearly 300 residential houses and cottages occupied full time.
We run a number of major indoor visitor attractions, including Hill Top, Wray Castle, and Sizergh Castle, as well as several significant outdoor sites such as Tarn Hows and Aira Force and a number of smaller destinations. We also have a varied commercial portfolio including 4 Trust run campsites, a few holiday cottages and Sticklebarn pub in Great Langdale; as well as other businesses run by tenants.
Our Ambition for land
The National Trust is committed to playing an active and leading role in reversing the national decline in nature, to secure not only our cultural but also our natural heritage for ever, for everyone. We want to see a healthy, beautiful, and natural environment across the nation, enabling wildlife to thrive alongside the other functions we believe land should provide such as clean water, carbon storage, flood alleviation and quality food production.
Our vision for our land is ambitious and long-term. Our strategy document ‘Playing Our Part: Restoring a Healthy, Beautiful Natural Environment’ sets targets to move us towards this vision – by 2025 all designated wildlife sites in our care will be on course to be in good ecological condition, we will create and restore 25,000ha of valuable habitat , and fundamentally, ensure that wildlife friendly management practises are the norm across all areas of land that we and our tenants care for.
The detailed solutions to achieving this will be as varied as the places themselves; but we are certain that they will be created through strong partnerships with our tenants, neighbours and other partners.
Hazel Head Farm
We are committed to playing an active and leading role in reversing the national decline in nature, to secure not only our cultural but also our natural heritage for ever, for everyone.
Our vision for our land is ambitious and long-term. Our national strategy document ‘Playing Our Part: Restoring a Healthy, Beautiful Natural Environment’ www.nationaltrust.org.uk/documents/national-trust-playing-our-part.pdf sets out that ambition for our land in the 21st Century – meeting the needs of an environment under pressure in a fast changing world. We want to continue to maintain the highest standards of care for everything we look after, while working in a way that feels relevant and necessary to people and their day-to-day lives. We also want to play an active and leading role in reversing the national decline in nature in order to secure not only our cultural, but also our natural heritage.
A key part of our strategy is ‘Restoring a Healthy, Beautiful Natural Environment’ where our aim is to see “bigger, better, more and joined up” habitats across the nation, enabling wildlife to thrive alongside the other functions we believe land should provide such as clean water, carbon storage and flood alleviation, whilst remaining productive.
The detailed solutions to achieving this will be as varied as the places themselves; but we are certain that they will be created through strong partnerships with our tenants, neighbours and others.
We have been looking after special places in the Lake District on behalf of the nation for the past 120 years. It’s our birthplace, somewhere we care deeply about. At the heart of our work will always be our commitment to our conservation purpose; recognizing and protecting the special places and ways of working that define the Lake District. We've developed these principles to guide the work that we do to look after this landscape.
The World Heritage Site
The inscription of the Lake District as a new World Heritage Site in 2017 has confirmed the region’s status as a ‘cultural landscape’ of global significance, highlighting it as not only one of the ‘Nation’s Special Places’, but of importance for present and future generations.
At the heart of the inscription of the Lake District as a World Heritage Site is a recognition and celebration of the significant role that traditional farming and local industry has had in shaping a landscape of such exceptional beauty. Traditional systems of land management, particularly those relating to the upland commons, distinctive vernacular architecture and persistence of local breeds are all recognised as making a significance contribution to the development of the Lake District landscape, as well as being fundamental to its future. These elements are all present at Hazel Head, and the farm will be continued to be managed with the values of the World Heritage Site in mind.
Our Ambition for the land at Hazel Head Farm Our land at Hazel Head will be a leading example of nature friendly farming where an upland fell farm is managed in a way that benefits both the natural environment and the cultural landscape. The quality of the livestock, the diversity and condition of the habitats and the overall health of the land and water at Hazel Head will be widely
Hazel Head Farm recognised as some of the best that the Lake District has to offer.
Across the farm we will look to enhance the connectivity of habitats, encouraging the transition from semi-natural grassland and wood pasture in the in-bye, to mosaics of rough grassland, wetland and mires, heathland with scattered scrub and open-grown trees across the intakes. Within this network of habitats, areas that have the potential to be particularly species rich will be sensitively managed to allow them to flourish.
We expect to work with the successful applicant to explore the soil health of the farm, and for soil management to enhance the asset, and for this to be given recognition as good practice. In addition to soil we would expect water courses to be managed in a sensitive way, and for water quality on the farm to be improving through the course of the tenancy.
In the lower field systems meadows will be managed to encourage increased plant diversity in the sward; and wetlands/mires will be allowed to become increasingly wet. The fell land will be managed to enhance the sward diversity and encourage the heathland shrub species to flourish. The wood and scrub pasture land will be sympathetically grazed to allow regeneration of trees and scrub with a mosaic of herb- rich grassland, mire, bracken and heath.
Many of these gains will be achieved through determining appropriate grazing and livestock management of existing habitat, but supported by targeted areas of new habitat creation. Financial support will be explored through optimising all appropriate grant schemes.
These changes won’t happen overnight. Our ambition for Hazel Head is long term, but we expect to see things develop within the next 10 years. However we don’t expect you to achieve this alone, and we intend to start as we mean to go on. For the right tenant we hope this will be a long term partnership with our team of rangers and specialists who are excited for the opportunities ahead and who will work alongside you and support you on this venture, with regular catch-ups from the outset.
Refer to our ambition plan for the farm, at Appendix A, to see how we would like this land to be, with input to this from the successful applicant.
Hazel Head Farm land
The area proposed to be included in the letting is shown in red on the attached plan within the appendices (Appendix C), together with a schedule of field numbers, hectarage and classifications (Appendix D).
Soils on the farm are typical to the local area with in-bye areas predominantly freely draining slightly acid and acid loamy soils over rock. The land is classified between Grade 5 (very poor agricultural land) and Grade 4 (poor agricultural land). All of the holding is considered to be Less Favoured Area – Severely Disadvantaged (SDA), with roughly half the farm mapped as above the Moorland Line (SDA Moorland).
Hazel Head Farm
The farmhouse and buildings lie at approximately 150m above sea level with the highest point at the top of the intakes at approximately 200m above sea level. The farm experiences an average annual rainfall of approximately 1000 mm. The land is generally South facing in aspect.
The farm has sheep grazing rights on the neighbouring Ulpha Common (CL 71) for 1455 ewes and followers. It is accepted that grazing rights were generally over registered and there is no capacity on Ulpha Common for Hazel Head to use this number. The National Trust is letting 810 rights on Ulpha Common with Hazel Head.
Livestock & Landlord’s flock
Hazel Head Farm is to be let supporting a flock of pure Herdwick sheep with some cattle. It will be desirable for the tenant to keep a limited number of cattle for the benefits that their grazing style mixed with the sheep can bring to create a range of sward heights and other biodiversity benefits.
The farm carries a flock Herdwick sheep, a breed that is well suited to the farm and an integral part of its historic and cultural importance. We envisage this farm in the future to be shepherded with a traditional system, with fell grazing and a hefted flock maintained.
There is a landlord’s flock of Herdwick sheep on the holding amounting to 170 ewes, 50 gimmer twinters 42 gimmer hoggs, 15 wether hoggs and 2 tups (as recorded at the start of the current tenancy). These numbers are subject to sheep being available, but will form the basis of the numbers for the ongoing landlord’s flock, although we would be willing to have some discussion over future numbers in this flock, dependant on the terms of any future schemes. The landlord’s flock is to remain purebred Herdwick, and will be assessed in the usual way at a sheep viewing on handover of the tenancy.
Applicants are invited to base their stocking proposals on numbers appropriate to the holding, their management plan for the farm and our ambitions for the condition of the land as set out in these particulars. Winter feed and accommodation are likely to be limiting factors for cattle on the holding. There is a good general purpose modern building, but no separate muck midden. We expect muck storage to be incorporated into this building, but there may be potential for a new muck midden in the future, dependant on funding, we expect to discuss potential for this with the new Tenant.
A maximum sheep stocking rate will be agreed with the successful applicant as part of the tenant selection process and recorded in the tenancy agreement.
Hazel Head Farm
Farm boundaries
Hazel Head Farm boundaries comprise a mixture of fences and dry-stone walls. The successful applicant will be expected to maintain all boundaries to a sound tenantable and stock proof order, and work with the National Trust to explore hedge planting on the farm.
The tenant is responsible for a share of the external farm boundaries and these will be confirmed at the viewing day.
Agri–environment schemes
The Farm has been in a current Higher Level Stewardship agreement which expires in May 2021. The National Trust will expect the new Tenant to engage with Natural England in entering the farm into a new Agri-Environment scheme, and have carried out ecology surveys to identify areas of environmental improvement which is desired (please see Appendix A), and which will help to inform a new scheme. There may also be potential for a wider landscape scheme in the locality (under the new suite of Defra schemes, currently under design consultation), and we would expect the successful applicant to engage fully with this.
The Farm is understood to be part of a current Higher Level Stewardship agreement on Ulpha Fell which expires on 30th April 2024. More details about this scheme will be made available at the viewing day. Basic Payment Scheme
The holding is to be let without Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) entitlements. The expectation is that the incoming tenant will seek to manage the farm with the benefit of BPS entitlements, and the farm business plan should reflect this.
It is understood that the current tenant has BPS entitlements available to purchase by private agreement. Hazel Head Farm
It is recognised that due to the changes in agricultural subsidies and future agri- environment schemes there is uncertainty going forward. Should the holding’s future income vary significantly as a result, the Trust acknowledges that rental agreements and management will need to be revisited to reflect changes and new opportunities.
Nature Conservation
Hazel Head is an excellent example of a small upland mixed hill farm. It has a rich mosaic of semi-natural habitats that provide extensive opportunities to optimise Environmental Stewardship Schemes. The farm borders SSSI woodland to the South and there are numerous opportunities to enhance woodland connectivity across the farm through fencing and planting trees along watercourses, creation of wood pasture on the rough intakes to the East and scattered tree/scrub planting in cages throughout the pastures.
The large intake to the west of the road would be part of an ambitious project to prioritise nature and particularly the upland habitats of mire, wet heath and the associated small becks. Encouraging the habitat to develop better structure and allowing some scrub to regenerate would contribute to holding water back on the land. In addition, natural flood defence could be improved with the possible addition of leaky dams and planting along the watercourses.
Due to its rocky undulating nature, much of the pastureland has had little improvement and there are several areas with large ant hills, an indication of ancient grassland. The pastureland should continue to be managed sensitively with no inputs of artificial fertilizer and only limited use of farmyard manure. The addition of landscape trees and flowering scrub would increase the structural diversity of the fields and could be planted in tree cages to avoid use of plastic tubes.
There are three meadows on the farm, one which is currently under restoration as part of the Lake District Meadow Project. The other two look suitable for restoration with further soil tests and survey required. The National Trust would require that the meadows be managed on a low input system with no inorganic fertiliser used and a late cut followed by aftermath grazing.
Public access
Hazel Head is situated in the Duddon Valley, which is one of the quieter areas of the Lake District in relative terms, however there is a network of public footpaths and one bridleway through the farm, and with the National Trust working to a principle of ‘Everyone Welcome’, the successful tenant will need to be happy with public access around the farm.
Hazel Head Farm
Archaeology & historic environment
The National Trust’s Historic Buildings, Sites and Monuments Record identifies some 40 features of local or regional significance over the holding, ranging from ruined vernacular buildings to a bronze age cairnfield. A list of these important features together with a map identifying them will be appended to the tenancy agreement, to ensure that no damage is caused to any of these sites as a result of agricultural activity or permitted development.
The Farmhouse
The Farmhouse is a detached three bedroom stone built farmhouse. The central segment of the domestic buildings is a mid 17th Century two bay cottage typical of the Duddon Valley. To the West is a Victorian addition to the domestic accommodation which completes the farmhouse. The walls are whitewashed over stone and the roof has graded slates over hardwood trusses.
The Trust will be undertaking a limited amount of compliance building work, which may commence after the start of the Tenancy. Works will be discussed and designed in conjunction with the new Tenant if not completed prior to the start of the Tenancy.
The property is served by a private water supply from a borehole within the farm boundary and drainage is to a private sewage treatment plant.
Details of the accommodation and services provided in the farmhouse are included in Appendix E.

Holiday Accommodation
There are currently two holiday cottages on the farm. Brighouse is a standalone cottage, located at the end of a track in the middle of the farm holding, and Duddon Mews is a one bedroom annex to the farmhouse. Details of the accommodation dimensions are included in the Appendices.
The National Trust will be carrying out limited works to the holiday accommodation, but with limited funds, expects the new Tenant to invest in the properties to make a successful diversification income stream to supplement the small scale livestock enterprise.
Brighouse provides a well located and private cottage, ideal for a family, and Duddon Mews a cosy bolthole, with the potential for overflow accommodation from Brighouse. We do not have recent data on letting income, particularly with the recent hiatus due to the pandemic, and there was some longer term letting undertaken by the current tenant, however demand for holiday accommodation is currently and is due to remain strong, and these properties represent an exciting opportunity to generate additional income and engage with the public.
Diversification opportunities & off farm income
We are very interested in hearing any proposals you may have for including diversification enterprises as part of your farm tender proposal, in addition to the existing holiday accommodation. If you are including a diversification proposal as part of your tender, please include as much detail as you can of the relevant enterprise costs and income and any planning or legal considerations you have made.
If we provide our consent as a Landlord to a diversification activity, we may need to issue a Licence to Diversify in addition to the Farm Business Tenancy for the Holding.
We recognise that you may need or want to supplement your income off the holding and this will not be a barrier. However, the delivery of the required land management outcomes must not be prejudiced by these other activities and applicants must be able to demonstrate how the various activities will work together to benefit Hazel Head.
