The focus of the widespread ire is ballet-loving Dame Helen Ghosh, 60, a former Whitehall mandarin who has been the National Trust’s director-general since 2012 and, it is said, still lives up to a memorable description of her by a government minister of being ‘more at home in court shoes than gum boots’.

Al Pacino's girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, says she's 'not the marrying type' after welcoming son Roman with actor, 83 It's so rare to get a decent slice of land come to the market. This plot is a complete one off really.These questions came to a head in 2016 at Thorneythwaite, a farm near the remote southern end of Borrowdale that was put up for sale by its private owners. The National Trust, keen to extend its Borrowdale landholding, opted to buy the 303-acre plot of farmland but not the farmhouse. This elicited a furious reaction from sectors of the local farming community. Inside the horrific world of the Calabrian Mafia: From a widow fed to pigs, to a man who had dead dolphins... She has been known to emphasise her authority and grasp of an issue by casually mentioning that she has a First in History from Oxford. She is also in the habit of emphasising the ‘importance of listening to others’. Who won Great British Bake Off?

It owned all but three of the many farms scattered around — easily enough, you would think, to ‘highlight the sustainable hill farming debate’ etc. Rewilding the fells is not just townies forcing their naive fantasies on the countryside. It is a hard-headed policy: in a tiny way, it will help offset global warming; more tangibly, it will slow the floodwaters climate change is bringing. It will also be popular. If you doubt me, look at how many go to see the new beaver colonies in Scotland or the wetlands in East Anglia and Somerset. Or listen to the sympathetic hearings plans to reintroduce lynx to the Kielder Forest receive. Look even at the seeds on sale in supermarkets and notice how popular the wildflowers we once dismissed as weeds have become.Kendall Jenner becomes THIRD KarJenner to land Forbes cover after Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner did it first as she talks tequila brand 818 Dua Lipa sets pulses racing in daring lace bodysuit and faux fur coat as she enjoys evening out in New York City I invited the conservation ecologist Rob Dixon, founder of the habitat restoration consultancy Wild Lakeland, to walk the patchwork of different habitats that make up the Thorneythwaite landholding. Starting in the valley bottom, Dixon echoes Bland’s point: the traditionally managed upland hay meadows are no more. Yet, with a few targeted interventions, he says, these dry stone walls could once again contain florally abundant, bird- and insect-rich habitats. Second, there is the fact that their narratives are so inconsistent. Take the issue of the price the Trust paid, a figure it arrived at following independent advice. Peter Nixon tells me that one reason the Trust paid so much was because it feared a buyer from overseas. So, I ask Mike Innerdale, who gave the Trust the idea that there might be interest from overseas? If it came from the vendor’s side, surely they were simply trying to keep the price up. “Potentially. But we couldn’t ignore it.” Are any upland farms in the Lake District, to his knowledge, owned by foreigners? “Not to my knowledge. But we know there was international interest when Blencathra was put on the market.” This is disingenuous. In the end, the Earl of Lonsdale, unable to find a buyer for his iconic mountain (definitely not a hill farm), eventually took it off the market. All three talk of the “threat” the land was facing. But this isn’t quite the case. It’s in a national park, and as such, subject to protection come what may.
