A true Wensleydale experience – try out life as a farmer on the Swinithwaite Estate, home of the Thornton-Berry family since 1925. Start the day with a traditional, hearty English breakfast of fresh local produce in an award-winning café. Then spend the day taking a close look at traditional drystone walls, feeding the animals, gathering sheep and learning about how sheep are farmed. A fun and engagaing hands-on experience in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
