The Global Meaningful Travel Map
Swinton Estate
OUR EXPERIENCES
Swinton Estate is a privately owned 20,000-acre Estate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It has been owned by the Cunliffe-Lister family since 1880 and is comprised of an 18th-century Grade II* listed Castle operating as a deluxe hotel, a selection of holiday cottages, a glamping site, plus a Country Club and Spa. The Estate is home to over 30 tenant farmers as well as owning a selection of private and commercial properties. The Estate sits at the heart of the local community, employing over 200 local team members, supporting local suppliers, and welcoming visitors to the area.
ABOUT US
Swinton Estate plays an integral role within the local community, operating environmentally responsible and sustainable hospitality and land management businesses which bring wealth and employment to the local area, as well as leading the field in delivering sustainable and natural solutions to climate change and biodiversity restoration.
IMPACT
The Swinton Estate is carbon neutral and is committed to protect the environment to ensure there’s clean air, fresh water, and unspoiled nature for all to enjoy – today and tomorrow. With over 7,000 acres of moorland and 1,700 acres of woodland, our natural capital is a resource that can provide natural solutions to the climate crisis. We are also committed to protecting habitats to provide better breeding grounds for some of our rarest species.
For over 20 years we have invested in technology and natural solutions to reduce our emissions and waste, improve biodiversity, and sequester carbon. This includes the installation of a carbon neutral biomass boiler in 2006, planting over 40,000 trees, restoring peatland on the moors, and planting wild flower meadows.
Our ambition is to reduce our footprint further by 30% by 2040. This will be achieved by further minimising the impact of our operations and emissions, combined with large-scale investments to increase biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Swinton Nourish is the partnership that provides the platform for these investments, with a Climate Action Academy that delivers environmental tuition and forums, along with back-to-nature wellbeing for our partners.
