Why buy woodland in Cumbria
Cumbria is 12% woodland, close to the 11% England average. That is about 79,724 hectares of trees in all. Woods sell in anything from a few acres to a whole estate, so tell us the size and the use you have in mind and we match on that.
Lake District National Park, Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape, the North Pennines National Landscape, and the Solway Coast National Landscape protect a large part of Cumbria. Woods inside a protected landscape are managed under the same felling licence rules as anywhere else, and ancient woodland has extra protection wherever it is, so check the Ancient Woodland Inventory before you offer.
Felling is licensed by the Forestry Commission, not the council, but 2 councils in Cumbria (Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness) decide on anything you build in a wood and on Tree Preservation Orders, so a quick call to the planning department before you offer is worth it. Our guides cover the rest.
