Situation
This secluded stunning ring-fenced block of land is
strategically positioned to the south of Tadcaster and
to the west of Towton village. The thriving market
town of Tadcaster has a wide range of day-to-day
amenities including sporting facilities, supermarket,
cafes, bars and independent shops catering for all
daily needs. Being conveniently situated for access to
the A64 and the nearby A1M link allows quick easy

Towton village and the land share a link of historical
significance to the battle of Towton. Fought on
March 29, 1461, it was a pivotal engagement in the
Wars of the Roses, a series of conflicts for control of
the English throne between the rival houses of
Lancaster and York. This battle is often referred to as
one of the largest ever fought on English soil and has
shaped not only the heritage of Yorkshire but British
history.

The land extends to 34.4 acres of
permanent pasture in a ring fence which
is interspersed with woodland. The land
is provisionally classed as grade 3

lime-rich loamy soils".

grazing of horses with suitable stabling
and a menage for training. The property
has previously had an equestrian
cross-country course running around
the perimeter of the property. On the
course are a range of jumps and
features such as steps and a water
jump. The course would be roughly
1 -1.4 miles long. The land is undulating
and will see fit for a variety of uses be it
that of traditional agricultural grazing,
equestrian use, sporting use or
diversification. The property would also
lend itself to rewilding and eco-tourism.
The woodland on the property is of
varying ages and tree type, with older
well-established trees on the boundary
fences complimenting the more
recently planted covers/spinneys.

is a menage that could provide training

disciplines which can be incorporated
by the purchaser if desired.
