Another Mulgrave Estate traditional boundary has received some due care and attention recently alongside the A171 at Lady Cross. The wall, which may be over 200 years old, has been rebuilt and restored by a local walling contractor. 100 metres has been repaired and will contribute to the landscape character of the area as well eventually providing a stock proof barrier next to the main road. Financial assistance came from the North York Moors National Park Authority’s Traditional Boundary Scheme (TBS), which provided an incentive grant to restore the feature.

You may have seen lots of new fencing being constructed around Mulgrave Estate recently. Our contractors have been busy installing approximately 26 miles (equivalent to the length of a marathon!) of new fencing to allow for various grazing management to be undertaken on the Estate’s grassland and woodland holdings. Prior to the work we had lots of old fence lines that had either been patched up or fallen into disrepair altogether. Without good fences, stock fields become un-grazed which leads to the detriment of the grassland. The fences have been constructed from wooden posts and sheep netting to enclose the fields.

John Beech, Asst Rural Surveyor at the Estate commented, ‘It literally has been a marathon to get all of the work done in time for the grazing season. We have more to do over the Summer and into next Winter, but ensuring our boundaries are in good condition means we have secure grazing plots and we can bring some of the key habitats that we have across the Estate back into positive management’.

Some of the fencing is being part funded under the various Agri Environment Schemes that Mulgrave Estate have successfully applied for.

The Estate are thrilled to have sponsored the Whitby Fishermen’s Under 8’s boys’ team for the 2018/2019 season. The team have had a great season finishing second in the league. The club had started fundraising for some new kit to keep the team looking smart and warm during the harsh North East winter. As friends of the club, we were delighted to show our support by purchasing waterproof jackets and woolen hats for the boys. The team coach, Jason, expressed his thanks for the support. He said “We are hugely grateful for the support from Mulgrave. Not only have they helped to keep the boys warm this winter, they’ve also helped to instill a sense of pride into the team. We play in the Teesside league and often come up against much bigger clubs so it’s great that we can look the part too! It’s made a huge difference to the team this year!”

Good water quality in the streams and rivers across The Mulgrave Estate is one of the key environmental drivers for estate management. The Estate have been working recently with the Environment Agency to maintain and enhance water quality wherever possible. A new cattle crossing point has just been installed in Tanners Wood Beck enabling livestock to reach other parts of the grazing land on the Estate without polluting the watercourse. 200 concrete sleepers now provide a solid surface walkway between 2 farms whilst new fencing and gates corral livestock through to the adjacent fields. The materials were provided by the Environment Agency as part of the Sandsend Bathing Water Quality initiative which is committed to improving water quality in the catchment.
