We’re delighted to announce that our new Life for a Life Memorial Forest is now open in the beautiful village of Crosthwaite, near Kendal, within the Lake District National Park.
Situated beside the historic St Mary’s Church and just moments from the much-loved Punch Bowl Inn, this peaceful setting offers stunning views across the surrounding landscape — a truly special place for remembrance and connection with nature.
As part of this developing memorial forest, we will be planting a mix of native forestry trees along with a small fruit orchard, creating a flourishing and diverse landscape that will benefit both wildlife and future generations.
The site will also feature a beautiful wildflower meadow, which will develop over time through a carefully managed programme designed to encourage biodiversity, support pollinators, and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape throughout the seasons.
A private small car park just off Mill Lane provides convenient access for visitors.
We are now accepting memorial tree dedications in this exceptional location, with bookings available for Winter 2026 and Spring 2027.
Life for a Life planting areas are natural environments where we encourage wildlife and plant life to flourish, as such additional items should not be added to the tree or the space around it, especially as they can cause damage to the tree.
Please be aware that any prohibited items left on, or around memorial trees will be removed.
