The Box Moor Trust is a registered charity that manages nearly 500 acres of grazing and amenity land on behalf of the local community.
Predominantly open access, our Estate is comprised of a range of habitats subject to varied management plans;
River Bulbourne, a rare chalk river that runs through the Estate
Roughdown Common, a SSSI consisting of unimproved chalk grassland.
Gadespring, an ex-watercress growing site, now managed as a wetland nature reserve.
Most of the Estate is subject to conservation grazing, as it would have been 400 years ago when the Trust was formed, grazed by our herd of Belted Galloway cows, and our homebred Norfolk Horn sheep – both rare breeds.
