The large Victorian Farmhouse and traditional farm buildings were built in 1871 and the original occupant a Mr Woodd, cousin to the famous naturalist Charles Darwin. With 70 acres of ‘in bye’ or grazing land around the house and the rest, exposed, wet, peaty, unproductive moorland, the land is perfect for native cattle and the nnative wildlife of the Dales. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1602260915649-LQZ8PA7SY1HUBGUX8IX7/IMG_20200808_114230.jpg About - The Present From its beginnings as a traditional upland farm, Nethergill has grown into something quietly special. In 2014, two old haylofts were transformed into warm, simple self‑catering spaces; a field centre was created for learning and exploration; and two wildlife hides were built for those who like to watch the valley in stillness. “Bernard”, our hardworking biomass boiler, now keeps the whole place warm, while solar panels provide most of our electricity — a small, steady commitment to living lightly in the landscape we love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1602261207131-DOMT8SFJ7V3KOTBF68MX/belted+galloway+bull.jpg About - The Future Looking ahead, we’re committed to balancing nature recovery with light, careful grazing from our Belted Galloways — a way of farming that enriches biodiversity rather than depleting it. Over the coming years, we hope to create even more ways for visitors to connect with this landscape: New wild‑glamping spaces tucked into the valley A world‑class fitness centre inspired by the outdoors Hands‑on woodworking workshops A boardwalk to open up more habitats for everyone to explore Meat boxes and small‑batch products from cattle raised in this remarkable environment Nethergill will always stay rooted in the land — we’re simply finding new ways to share it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1602260990610-OIJC5KZT27UU13N837JL/red+squirrel.jpg About - Restoring What Was Always Here To help wildlife flourish — especially Red Squirrels — we’ve planted 20,000 trees across 30 acres of moorland, creating Ellbeck Wood in partnership with the National Park and Forestry Commission. It sits beside Greenfield Forest and is the 17th Red Squirrel reserve in Britain. At the same time, our peatland on the moss is being restored with the help of Yorkshire Peat Partnership, volunteers and scientists. The bog pools are returning, the ground is holding water again, and ground‑nesting birds are coming back in growing numbers. A landscape slowly healing, with many hands behind it. https://www.nethergill.co.uk/wild-camping daily 0.75 2024-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1602241337671-P3ZS6Z1ZSG7VQ5AUAHLF/image-asset.jpeg Wild Camping https://www.nethergill.co.uk/faqs daily 0.75 2026-03-23 https://www.nethergill.co.uk/education daily 0.75 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1601993255879-UCXIWKDUK92M4ETAFIGG/web-IMG_1440crop.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1601993256079-04M6RMLD6B6LLEYG5LM2/web-IMG_1447.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1601993257442-KE4XQS7YPP5U12PYWB75/web-Sept-2012-015.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1601993363754-0AOQ1G56NDJ0PNNBXP41/web-IMG_1446.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4516b8c17e5c039033a43f/1601993333430-JPK82HKXNDG4C7YQ3J5F/image-asset.jpeg Education - Activities include: Pond dipping in the river Tree planting Bird watching from the observation hides Farm trail; taking in the rarebreed Belted Galloway cattle, biomass boiler, river bank restoration etc. When planning transport to get to Nethergill by coach please read the Group Organisers' and Coach Drivers' Guide to the Yorkshire Dales.
