About the project
We are changing….
Changing from a traditional, highly managed human environment of livestock and vivid green pastures to a new landscape, one where habitats develop through natural processes. Where nature sets its course.
Farming has now ceased on 400 acres at Coombeshead. We are at the beginning of a new journey, one which will give the land an opportunity to relax, recover and re adjust.
Abundant life is returning, not hemmed in by hedgerows or restricted to narrow verges but full and complete.

Nature Based Breaks
Stay in our beautiful shepherds’ huts or camp in our meadows. Take part in our guided wildlife walks and see some of our rewilding helpers such as the beaver, wild pigs , Exmoor ponies and a small herd of gigantic water buffalos, wallowing through the wetland, creating new ponds for amphibians and other wildlife.
We will introduce you to species being bred for reintroduction such as white storks, wild cats, beavers, water voles and harvest mice, and you can learn about their vital roles in our natural environment.
In the evening relax round the fire, watch our free roaming wild animals from dedicated viewing platforms or take part in organised beaver watching activities.
