The Swinton Estate is the custodian of one of the largest privately owned natural landscapes in England. 20,000 acres, set within the Nidderdale National Landscape and stretching from the River Ure in Wensleydale up onto the moorland Pennines, the Estate is a mix of ancient woodland, commercial forestry, SSSI moorland and hill farms.
It has been in the ownership of the Cunliffe-Lister family for over 140 years.
