The land at Stowe Barton, situated on the coast in North Cornwall, is an important site within the South West region that has the potential to deliver much more for nature, climate and wider public benefit.
The National Trust has the ambition to support the creation of a corridor for nature and people around the whole of the South West coast and has been actively implementing opportunities to achieve this.
This includes adapting to climate change and seeking to mitigate impacts through land management that reduces carbon losses and seeks to sequester carbon.
The Trust works with many farming tenants and does achieve improvements for nature and climate change through mutual agreement and collaboration.
In this instance we have had ongoing conversations over several years with our tenants. However, we are now not able to continue these discussions. A joint way forward is not possible, and we will not be entering into an arrangement with the existing tenants post September 2025 when the existing tenancy ends.
We are not able to comment on the details of this particular tenancy but always try to ensure we maintain good working relationships with our tenants where that is possible.
