Where is Our Yorkshire Farm and Our Farm Next Door filmed?

Both programmes are filmed in one of the most isolated parts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where Amanda Owen, known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, has raised her family and worked the land for decades.

Where is Our Yorkshire Farm filmed?

Our Yorkshire Farm is filmed at Ravenseat Farm, located in Upper Swaledale, North Yorkshire, at the head of Whitsun Dale.

The hill farm covers around 2,000 acres of upland terrain and has been in the Owen family for generations. It operates primarily as a sheep farm and sits several miles from the nearest village.

The closest settlement is Keld, approximately three and a half miles away, a small hamlet with no shop and only a handful of buildings catering mainly to walkers.

Ravenseat previously welcomed visitors for cream teas and overnight stays, but public access was closed in 2022, and it now operates solely as a private family farm.

Where is Our Farm Next Door filmed?

The More4 series Our Farm Next Door is filmed nearby at Anty John’s, a historic farmhouse located close to Ravenseat in Swaledale.

The programme follows Amanda and Clive Owen as they renovate the long-derelict building, while continuing to run Ravenseat and care for their livestock with help from their nine children.

Series three of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids was filmed between spring and winter 2025 and documents the renovation entering its second year, with work shifting from making the building weatherproof to interior restoration.

How remote is the Owen family farm?

Ravenseat is widely regarded as one of the most remote farms featured on British television.

The surrounding villages are sparsely populated, with limited amenities and long distances between services.

The area is best known for walking routes, including the Coast-to-Coast Walk, which passes through nearby Keld.

Further east lies Muker, one of Swaledale’s larger villages, known for its traditional stone buildings and village pub.

Anyone visiting the area is advised to plan carefully, as shops, petrol stations and mobile signal can be limited in the upper Dales.

Why the location matters

The remote setting is central to both programmes, shaping daily life for the Owen family and presenting challenges ranging from extreme weather to long journeys for basic supplies.

Despite changes in family circumstances, Our Farm Next Door continues the themes that made Our Yorkshire Farm popular: rural resilience, family life and the realities of farming in one of England’s toughest landscapes.

Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids is currently on More4, with a fourth series already confirmed.
