In the 35 acres there are several woodland areas and streams and  pieces of Land Art including ornamental gates, a slate bridge, poetry stone seat, stone column and over mantle piece inspired by Ian Hamilton Finlay of Little Sparta and James Turbellaria. There is an inscribed stone drinking/wall feature near the entrance to the property.

There are two large Yorkshire Board barns for horses, bikes etc and a small stone barn with a stable and hay loft which the swallows, martins and barn owls  currently. We regularly hear frogs croaking at spawning time in March, Snipe drumming, larks and cuckoos at the beginning of June.

There is walking access to the north through the 'Forestry' or back up the track, to the Pennine Way South to Hadrian's Wall,  or North through Wark Forest leading on to Stonehaugh or West to the Boardwalk around Green Lee Lough.

We are currently designing a 'fantasy map' of the property. The land to the front of the farmhouse is a SSSI and monitored closely.
