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

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.
