Both programmes are filmed deep in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in one of the most remote corners of North Yorkshire, where Amanda Owen, widely known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, has spent years raising her family and managing the land.

Where is Our Yorkshire Farm filmed?

The original series is filmed at Ravenseat Farm in Upper Swaledale, near the head of Whitsun Dale.

The remote hill farm spans around 2,000 acres of rugged upland countryside and has long been associated with the Owen family.

Primarily a sheep farm, Ravenseat sits miles from major towns and services, adding to the isolated lifestyle featured throughout the series.

The nearest settlement is Keld, a small hamlet around three and a half miles away, best known as a stopping point for walkers exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Ravenseat previously welcomed visitors for cream teas and overnight stays, but the family stopped public visits in 2022, and the farm now remains private.

Where is Our Farm Next Door filmed?

The More4 spin-off is filmed close to Ravenseat at Anty John’s, a historic farmhouse in Swaledale that Amanda and Clive Owen have been restoring.

The series follows the family as they renovate the once-derelict property while continuing the day-to-day work of farming and caring for livestock alongside their nine children.

The third series, filmed between spring and winter 2025, has just aired on More4 and focuses on the second phase of the restoration project, with attention turning from structural repairs to restoring the interior of the farmhouse.

How remote is the Owen family farm?

Ravenseat is considered one of the most isolated farms regularly featured on British television.

This was documented recently, when Amanda put on social media that it might have been sunny elsewhere, but it was sleeting, snowing and raining over in Ravenseat.

Upper Swaledale is sparsely populated, with limited amenities and long distances between villages.

Mobile phone signal can be unreliable, while shops and petrol stations are few and far between.

The area is popular with hikers, particularly those walking Alfred Wainwright’s Coast-to-Coast route, which passes through nearby Keld.

Further down the dale lies Muker, one of Swaledale’s better-known villages, recognised for its traditional stone cottages and village pub.

Why the location is central to the programme

The dramatic setting plays a major role in both series, shaping the challenges faced by the Owen family, from harsh winters and difficult farming conditions to the realities of living far from everyday services.

Despite changes in the family’s circumstances over the years, Our Farm Next Door continues many of the themes that made Our Yorkshire Farm so popular, including rural life, resilience and the demands of farming in one of England’s toughest landscapes.

People can watch Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids on More4 now that the third series has concluded, with a fourth series already confirmed.

And people can watch the reruns of Our Yorkshire Farm on Channel 5.

St Peter’s School lower sixth student Rowan, known as Ro, ran for the Great Britain and Northern Ireland U20 team at the 2026 Loughborough International, finishing the men’s 400m in 47.82 seconds.

He also ran the opening leg of the mixed 4x400m relay, helping his team secure fifth place.

Currently ranked second in the UK U18 400m standings, he holds a personal best of 47.24 seconds.

Ro said: “Having the honour to represent my country in both the individual and relay has always been my dream, and to make it come true meant the world to me.

“I look forward to what the rest of this year has to offer, and fingers crossed to represent team GB again.

“It is all stepping stones to the LA Olympics.”

St Peter’s School is known for producing athletes who compete at regional and national levels.

A spokesperson for St Peter’s said: “We thank our highly qualified staff who provide exceptional support for the immensely talented pupils, like Ro, at the school.

“Everyone at St Peter’s is extremely proud of Ro’s achievements and excited to see how he continues to progress in the months and years ahead.”

Leinster travelled to Bilbao with dreams of a fifth European star to add to their badge.

They had hoped for redemption in the Basque city, the site of their last Champions Cup triumph in 2018, where they could wipe away the pain of their previous four defeats.

However, after being blown away by a superb Bordeaux performance in the first half, this one will arguably hurt more than most.

Players and staff had talked about the “fine margins” of previous final defeats, but on Saturday the gulf could not have been clearer.

Tommy O’Brien crossed early but what followed was a display of power and poise, largely dictated by Maxime Lucu, Mathieu Jalibert and Louis Bielle-Biarrey.

By the time Yoram Moefana raced under the posts after intercepting Harry Byrne’s pass at the end of the first half, the game was done and dusted with Bordeaux leading 35-7.

Leinster improved after the restart and Bordeaux weren’t quite as fluid, but the damage was done and the Top 14 side ran out 41-19 winners.

“I think a bit of a theme of the season has been finding a way,” captain Caelan Doris told BBC Radio 5Live.

“We’ve been behind several times and there’s been composure and finding a way, but despite a good effort in the second half it was too high a mountain to climb.”

He spoke to Belfast Live to mark Dementia Action Week

This is Belfast man Paul McCooey who was recently diagnosed with dementia after he began to notice issues with his eyesight.

The 71-year-old from north Belfast spoke to Belfast Live to mark Dementia Action Week (18-24 May), which aims to bring together local organisations and community groups who support people living with dementia, along with their carers, families, and loved ones.

Paul told us: “My diagnosis was quite quick. I knew there was something wrong with me, but I didn’t know what it was. I went to the doctor and then I was referred to hospital for all sorts of tests before it was confirmed that I have one of the rarer forms of dementia.

“It was about three years ago when I noticed that I couldn’t see things. They’d be there and sometimes they wouldn’t be there.

“I was also putting things down and then when I went to pick them up, I couldn’t see them. I went to the optician who ended up leading the way towards other things in terms of investigations that eventually led to the diagnosis.”

An MRI scan at Musgrave Park Hospital was the end result as Paul, a former archaeologist, explained: “I wasn’t sure what the outcome was going to be but my mother had dementia so I was half thinking down that line. I was still very shocked whenever I found out that it was dementia so it was a bit of a bombshell.

“The medical team didn’t talk over me, they talked to me and explained everything so I was quite happy with it in that sense.”

Since his diagnosis, Paul has found a lifeline through the support of his peers after joining his local Dementia NI Empowerment Group.

His wife Sue added: “Paul had just retired and I actually thought that it was all maybe the frustration of not being busy all the time, because he had a very busy life and job, so he wasn’t doing anything and I thought that was part of it.

“Paul went into overdrive at first when we got the diagnosis but then came to terms with it. He wasn’t sure what to do with himself really and it was then that we called into Dementia NI at Duncairn and that was a good call because they were brilliant.

“We have two sons it was hard for them but they’ve adapted very well to it all and help out when Paul needs it. It has been hard but we just take it as it comes. Paul would always have been the one that would have organised things so I’m having to do that now and make a bit of a mess of it at times!”

Paul added: “I’m getting through life and it’s not really impinging on me that much most of the time, but it does, obviously, when I’m trying to do certain things and sometimes I stop talking because I can’t work out what I’m trying to say.

“Dementia NI have put a completely different spin on it, a different perspective, and give you a sense of hope and a chance to move forward rather than being in the same place. Their meetings are good because nobody really sits there and says nothing. Everybody always has something to say. Sometimes it’s brilliant, sometimes it’s maybe not brilliant, but it doesn’t matter that’s not the point.”

“There’s no rules or regulations as everybody who’s there knows what it’s like and unfortunately we have a lot of experience. There’s a lot of humour in the group with people – it’s one for all and all for one.”

Kimi Antonelli says he and Mercedes team-mate George Russell “were both lucky not to crash” in an incident during the sprint race at the Canadian Grand Prix.

The Italian said he was “very annoyed” by an incident at Turn One on lap six, in which he tried to overtake Russell around the outside and ended up off the track.

“I was quite well alongside and there was definitely contact so I need to recheck that,” said Antonelli.

Russell said: “It was tense, it was close, but from my side it was just close, hard racing. I don’t think I did anything wrong.

“There was nothing untoward with the driving and it wasn’t even investigated. So that says enough.”

Antonelli complained about Russell’s driving over the team radio but was told by Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff to stop “moaning”.

Wolff added later: “It was great cinema. Tough fighting, not only between our two but also with Lando [Norris]. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

“You can see how quickly it goes, you create a gap with two cars and then you start to fight a bit and you can lose a race. If that goes longer and unlucky for us and it is the grand prix, then Norris may well win.

“I really enjoy these moments because it allows us to learn and say: ‘OK, what are we doing with this situation, how are we handling that in the future?’ Because you don’t want to lose a race, you don’t want to crash into each other and sometimes it needs a little moment to remind ourselves what our objectives are.

“This is not particularly against one or the other. There is a framework we want to establish and I’d rather have it in a sprint race, where it is not about a lot of points, than the main race.”

Sliceburg, which has existing sites in Darlington and Middlesbrough, recently announced it is set to open its third venue in Hartlepool in June.

Just days later, the business revealed it has secured the keys to a fourth store, but has not disclosed where it will be.

In a post on social media yesterday (May 21), the owners said: “After the success of our Darlington and Middlesbrough stores, we are opening up Hartlepool in June, but we’ve just secured the keys to our FOURTH store, can you guess where?”

The post featured a picture of a map, with many customers suggesting possible locations including Sunderland, Newcastle, Bishop Auckland and Durham.

The post added: “We also wanted to give you guys a big shout-out. Without you, none of this could be possible. We can’t wait to serve more of you our delicious food soon.”

The Hartlepool venue is expected to open early next month following refurbishment work, but the exact location and opening date have yet to be announced.

The Darlington restaurant, which opened in 2023, is known for its smash burgers, fries and tenders, available to eat in or takeaway.

It was previously listed as one of ten exceptional restaurants as part of the Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards 2024, which spotlight small independent businesses across the UK.

One resident who uses the hospital said they had been told that B2 ward could close, following changes to another ward last year.

It has raised concerns that it would cause bed shortages and less space for people accessing the hospital, with the ward usually used for adult medicine and the elderly.

Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has not confirmed that B2 ward will permanently close, but said wards and bed numbers are regularly reviewed depending on demand and patient need.

The trust said it was also developing a new intermediate care unit at the hospital site for patients needing extra support before being discharged home.

Rae Wheatcroft, chief operating officer for Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We regularly review and adjust our bed numbers across Bolton to respond to changing demand, making sure resources are in the right place and meeting the areas of greatest need.

“This includes developing a new intermediate care unit here on the hospital site, which will provide beds in an appropriate setting for patients requiring a little more support before they are discharged to the place they call home.

“We are also working hard to move more care out of hospital and into the community, in line with the NHS Long Term Plan.”

A spokesperson for the trust later said wards can open and close “on a rotating basis depending on where need is”.

A climber has died after plunging 2,000ft to her death down a volcano on her 42nd birthday.

Ingrid Daniela Vera Figueroa was climbing with a group of friends when the accident occurred at around 3pm on Sunday.

The mum-of-two posted a birthday message on social media just hours before her death.

Ahead of her climb up Llaima Volcano, one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Chile, she said: ‘It’s three in the morning and we’re finishing packing our backpacks to ascend Llaima.

‘I hope God accompanies me on this wonderful day, on which I’m turning 42 and am super happy.

‘Yes, I have a little uncertainty about what’s going to happen.’

Ingrid, who worked as school governor at Alexander Graham Bell School in Villarrica City, plunged to her death from a height of around 2,000ft (600m) while taking photos on the descent.

She reportedly released her ice pick, lost her balance, possibly exacerbated by strong winds, and slipped and fell down a steep ravine.

Rescue efforts were hampered by severe weather, with strong winds preventing a rescue helicopter from reaching the site.

Ingrid’s death was confirmed that evening, but her body could not be recovered until Monday morning at around 6:30am due to continuing poor conditions.

A joint operation involving police, firefighters, volunteers, and representatives from the National Forest Corporation successfully retrieved her remains.

Conaf director Héctor Tillería said the hiking group did not register with the park authorities or Carabineros beforehand, contrary to protocol.

He warned of adverse weather this week, with sub-zero temperatures and demanding high-mountain conditions, and urged all climbers to register properly for safety.

A school spokesperson, where Ingrid served as governor, called her a ‘responsible, kind, committed’ mother.

The community offered condolences to her husband, two children, family and friends.

Volcán Llaima, one of Chile’s most active volcanoes at over 3,000 metres, is a popular but challenging destination for experienced hikers.

Authorities continue to investigate the precise circumstances of the fall.

As Emily Atack prepares to co-host ITV’s brand new quiz show Nobody’s Fool alongside Danny Dyer, we take a look at her remarkable famous family

ITV viewers on the hunt for their next favourite game show need look no further, as brand new quiz show Nobody’s Fool kicks off tonight (Saturday 23 May).

Hosted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, Nobody’s Fool features ten contestants battling it out in a strategic quiz show with a remarkable twist.

Rather than rewarding the cleverest players, the show’s outcome hinges on how intelligent each contestant’s rivals believe them to be.

Throughout the competition, players must identify who they consider the weakest link amongst them and ruthlessly vote them out, reports the Daily Star.

Host Danny said of the new series: “This is a blinder of a game show and unlike anything I’ve seen before. Emily and I had a brilliant time making it and much like the audience at home will be, we were kept guessing right until the very end.”

Co-host Emily added: “It’s so exciting to be part of something this new and fresh. The chance to work with Danny again was a no brainer for me. We had such a laugh. Can’t wait for everyone to watch, it’s an absolute must see.”

While Emily fronts the new programme alongside her role in hit series Rivals as Sarah Stratton – where Danny also stars as Freddie Jones – she isn’t the only well-known face in her family.

Emily’s mother is accomplished actress Kate Robbins. Kate, 67, is not only a celebrated performer but also reached number two in the UK charts during the 80s with her smash hit ‘More Than in Love’, and has appeared in iconic productions including Spitting Image, After Life, and EastEnders.

Emily’s aunty happens to be none other than Amy Robbins, who portrays Christina Boyd in Coronation Street. Christina made her debut on the ITV soap in 2023 as Daisy Midgeley’s mum and has been embroiled in numerous dramatic storylines since.

While Christina’s appearances were initially sporadic, she’s become a more prominent fixture on the cobbles lately, particularly through her relationship with George Shuttleworth.

Amy, 54, has an impressive CV including Dr. Jill Weatherill in The Royal, Stephanie Morelle in World’s End, Caren in EastEnders and Defence Barrister Milligan in Emmerdale.

Talent clearly runs in the family, with Amy’s sister Emma also working as an actress, while another sibling, Jane, has made her mark as an artist, actress and musician, notably performing with the UK’s Eurovision act Prima Donna in 1980. These are Emily’s aunties.

Emily’s uncle Ted has also graced the Corrie set in three small parts, though he’s perhaps better recognised for his appearances in Calendar Girls, The Slammer, Diddy Movies and Benidorm, amongst other productions.

However, the family’s most famous connection is undoubtedly Emily’s mother Kate and her aunty Amy’s first cousin once removed – The Beatles legend Paul McCartney. Paul is Amy and Kate’s mum’s cousin, and she’s spoken fondly of him, saying: “He’s everything you would hope him to be, genuinely lovely.”

Nobody’s Fool launches on Saturday 23 May at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
