Ann is a 2nd generation farmer who raises North of England Mules, a cross-bred sheep sired by a Blue Faced Leicester ram and a Swaledale dam, on 230 acres of land above Hebden Bridge. It's an old, intensely managed landscape but done so sustainably with a whole range of projects going on behind the scenes such as planting 700 metres of hedging and working with Calder Rivers Trust to monitor run off and water quality.

Hebden Bridge
West Yorkshire
1. From the Co-op on Market Street in the center of Hebden Bridge turn onto the side road called Hebble End
2. Take the left fork onto Shelf Road to head uphill crossing a bridge that takes you over the main railway line
3. Keep going past the houses on what is now 'Palace House Road' until you reach the end
4. Take the concrete road named Wood top and follow it all the way up the steep hillside, going very slow over the little rough bit.
5. Take Spencer Lane which is a very very steep cobbled lane straight in front.
6. Turn right at the top passing a building with a big stone arch.
7. Our house is the very last property and the camping is just past it.
On arriving at the farm phone Ann or knock on her farmhouse door and she will show you where to pitch up / park on the field.
