Facts and practical information

The Lowbridge Estate is a country estate of approximately 2000 acres in the Lake District region of England that was in the continuous ownership of the Fothergill family from 1761 to 2016. It is now the home of the Todd family. Lowbridge House, the principal house on the estate, was built in the 1830s by Richard Fothergill II in the cottage orné style. The property was substantially updated and improved in 1889 and again in 2017 to 2019. The property lies between Todd Crag and Bannisdale. Other properties on the Estate include Lowbridge Cottage, Lowbridge Lodge and the Bridge House. The Estate has become a haven for red squirrels with a very active policy of conservation including the extensive planting of red squirrel friendly larch trees and the reintroduction of pine-martins.
