The right tree in the right place. Living Adventurously 37
Tom Orde-Powlett's family have lived in Bolton Castle for 800 years. The Bolton Estate plays an important role in managing and caring for the beautiful area of Wensleydale. Tom considers it his duty to hand things over to the next generation in a better condition than he inherited it.
Tom served in the Army for 7 years and was awarded the Military Cross. These days he is a passionate conservationist.
