Wild Haweswater

Lee Schofield is RSPB Senior Site Manager at Haweswater, and author of the critically acclaimed book, Wild Fell: Fighting for Nature on a Lake District Hill Farm. Together with landowner United Utilities, the RSPB at Haweswater are carrying out large scale ecological restoration in a way that is compatible with sustainable upland farming. A flock of North Country Cheviot sheep, alongside Fell Ponies and Belted Galloway and Highland Cattle help to sustain the landscape's rich mosaic of woodland, meadow and mountain.

We use the Cheviot fleece to make our Haweswater tweed and throws.
