Come to Yew Tree Farm Rosthwaite in the beautiful Borrowdale Valley.

Don't just admire the scenery, have an experience in Borrowdale with Joe, a third generation Fell Farmer and learn all about a Fell Farming Year.
See Herdwicks, Sheepdogs and even watch your own sheepdog demonstration.
See for yourself how Farmers manage the landscape, how The Majestic Herdwicks are (Hefted) shaping the very view, like Lakeland Gardeners, and how different it would be if they hadn't been here for over 1000 years.
