Keld and its connection to Channel 5 Our Yorkshire Farm

Keld, in Upper Swaledale, is located around 3.5 miles from Ravenseat Farm, home of Amanda and Clive Owen and their nine children, whose lives were followed by millions of viewers on the hit television series.

While Ravenseat is now closed to the public and remains a private working farm, many visitors exploring the area continue to stop in nearby Keld.

The small village, which sits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is best known for its dramatic scenery, waterfalls and walking routes.

It lies at the meeting point of the Pennine Way and Alfred Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk, making it a popular stop for hikers crossing the Dales.

Visitors regularly describe Keld as “peaceful”, “unspoilt” and a “hidden gem”.

One visitor wrote online: “It’s the perfect place to escape from the modern world.”

Another said: “The scenery is absolutely stunning and there’s a real sense of peace here.”

Among Keld’s biggest attractions are its nearby waterfalls, including Kisdon Force, East Gill Force, Catrake Force and Wain Wath Force.

The village is also home to the Keld Countryside and Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the area’s lead-mining past.

Nearby Crackpot Hall, the ruins of an 18th-century farmhouse overlooking Swaledale, remains a popular destination for walkers and photographers.

Despite its popularity with outdoor enthusiasts, Keld remains one of the Yorkshire Dales’ smallest communities, with fewer than 100 residents.

Many visitors say its quiet atmosphere and remote location are part of its appeal.

Although fans of Our Yorkshire Farm can no longer visit Ravenseat, Keld continues to attract those keen to explore the landscape that helped make the programme such a success.

Whether visiting for the walking routes, waterfalls or sweeping Swaledale views, the village remains a popular stop for people discovering this part of the Yorkshire Dales.
