About Us

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 comprises
a range of habitats subject to various management plans, and includes:

• River Bulbourne – a rare chalk stream 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. It is grazed by our herd of Belted Galloway cattle and our homebred
Norfolk Horn sheep – both rare breeds.
