The reserve is a small working farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Main habitats: upland Management: New House Farm is owned and managed by the National Trust Features of interest The hay meadows have a diverse array of flora, with a mix of sweet vernal grass, wood crane’s-bill, lady’s-mantle, pignut, great burnet, yellow rattle and melancholy thistle. The limestone outcroppings are home to alpine cinquefoil, hoary whitlowgrass and orpine. The farm is managed traditionally without the use of artificial fertilisers or herbicides. The farm stock is restricted to 10 suckler cows and 35 sheep and only farmyard manure is used to fertilize the meadows. Hay making in late summer provides winter food for the livestock and helps maintain the species-rich grassland. The best time to view the meadows is mid-June to early July. A public footpath crosses the reserve.
