Park Farm, Linton

A Woodland Trust Tender Scheme winner from 1996, this site covers 81ha of former farmland in the Mease Lowlands adjacent to Grangewood ancient woodland.  An area of 1ha has been left adjacent to the ancient woodland to allow natural regeneration to occur.  Seven ponds have been improved for nature conservation by removing overhanging vegetation and de-silting them.

An old parish boundary hedge runs along the north west of the site and the line of the disused Netherseal colliery railway runs through the site.

Park Farm is on the routes of National Forest Company's Best Kept Villages and Spires & Stiles medium walks.
