About Summerstone

The team at Summerstone, headed up by Estate Manager Roy Burrows, has now transformed this exceptional corner of English countryside. They have planted over 65,000 trees, sowed acres of wildflowers, reseeded the hay meadows and restored the stunning heather moorlands.

The mission was to bring a more holistic approach to the agro-ecological land management on the estate, provide the best grass-fed produce and achieve carbon neutral status.

They have introduced strategies to encourage wildlife, manage grazing and reinstate woodlands.

Today, there are herds of native breed cattle and sheep, including pedigree Belted Galloways, Highland cattle and Swaledale sheep, tree-planting and many other collaborative projects designed to encourage sustainable wildlife.
