The Wildlife

The Park enjoys a quiet, family orientated character set amongst ancient woodland providing shelter and a managed environment for wildlife. The conservation contribution that the Park has achieved, have brought a reward of Gold status under the David Bellamy Award scheme every year since 2000. In 2017 we were awarded our first Honey Bee and Wildflower Awards. The Park also continues to support a voluntary fund-raising scheme for other conservation projects in the Ullswater Valley through the Lake District Foundation such as the restoration of Ullswater Way footpaths. 

The Ullswater valley has a rich biodiversity of wildlife whose ancient woodlands and fells provide breeding habitats for some of our rarer species such as red deer, red squirrels and barnacle geese. There is a vast array of species that live within and around the Park itself including red squirrels.

We take pride in our Park and by preserving and enhancing the environment around us and communicating this message to our customers, engaging the sense of the community the Park offers. View our environmental policy here.
