CRABTREE FARM Crabtree Farm is a picturesque sheep and beef farm that harmoniously balances agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship. Nestled in the stunning Cumbrian countryside, the farm is dedicated to farming practices that are sympathetic to nature. This commitment is evident in the extensive tree planting and hedge replacement initiatives that enhance biodiversity and create a thriving habitat for local wildlife. The farm is home to a range of breeding birds, including Barn Owls, Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Green Woodpeckers and Curlew, adding to the rich tapestry of its natural environment. The rolling pastures and lush woodlands provide a serene backdrop, reflecting a concerted effort to maintain and enrich the landscape.

CLAY PIGEON SHOOT To help secure the future of the family farm we have had to diversify. One of these diversifications is Clay Pigeon Shooting. This operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 10am and 4pm. Guests are more than welcome to book a taster session.
