Description

Eldmire Hill sits south of Thirsk, only 2.2 miles from the A168 trunk road, which provides swift access east-west to both the A1(M) and A19. The property has panoramic rural views south over the Vale of York, yet is 10 miles or less to the three market towns of Thirsk, Easingwold and Boroughbridge.

Land & Woodland
The farm land is generally level, with some gently sloping fields situated around Eldmire Hill and lies between 20 and 40 metres above sea level. The soils are from the Sessay Series, a fine and coarse loamy, often stoneless permeable soil. This is classified as Grade 2 under the former Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Land Classification Series.

The land has formed part of a typical combinable cropping rotation, with areas of lighter land also supporting potato production under licence to third parties and historically sugar beet. The land is bound by mature hedgerows and there are areas of woodland shelterbelts particularly around Eldmire Hill. The manure from the Poultry Site has been consistently returned to the soils raising organic matters and indices. Copies of the most recent soil sampling results are available on request.
