Tourism and Leisure Proposals

The Greencroft Estates Tourism Development is an exciting flagship development in the northeast of England, offering high quality visitor accommodation integrated with high quality leisure activities.

True North Real Asset Partners (True North), aim to develop a high quality and sustainable tourism development on their land at the extensive Greencroft Estate, north of Lanchester. The Proposed Development promises to be something unique in the northeast and a region leading development which County Durham can be proud of. True North have several forestry schemes across the UK but the most local to the northeast of England is the proposed Greencroft Forest Park, a mixed productive forest extending to over 480 Hectares.

True North’s vision is to create a sustainable tourism development, based upon a high-quality lodge offer, which meets the needs of County Durham’s tourism industry, and provides significant economic benefits for the local economy.

The Proposed Development will protect the existing character of the wider area, delivering a landscape-led scheme with biodiversity enhancements, whilst preserving and offering conservation and public access to the historically significant Greencroft Estate.
