WatchTree Nature Reserve

Sited on a former R.A.F. airfield and sadly the burial site of just under half a million sheep due to the 2001 foot and mouth disease outbreak.

Another fabulous, relaxing video, thanks for sharing. Done a few myself around disused old airfields, fascinating places.

Will need to check out you airfield ones as I have a disused one near mea but need the inspiration

I remember one of the F&M outbreaks visiting Longtown. The smell of burning carcasses was harrowing. Great flight though mate and the map inclusion added to the piece. 👍

Add subscriber 188 Zig nice flying, filming and editing. The music is just awesome well done

That's a fair amount of sheep, it just shows the impact it had on local economies

[@StevieProton]

There were 448,508 sheep, 12,085 cattle and 5,719 pigs. They are buried in the 26 trenches in the centre. They were buried in six weeks.

@@StevieProton that's a fair amount of live stock all from the one area

Enjoyed that, it's a place I've been meaning to visit for a long time but never seemed to get round to it. Thanks.
Can you send me your email address, someone asked me to video something but want a near professional job, which rules me out, so I thought of you. It's at Ireby.
