God’s Own Farm, DL11

Showcasing a blend of rugged beauty, working farm and “smart country” living with its stylishly renovated set of buildings and functioning farmyard, God’s Own Farm is all nestled within the exceptional Yorkshire Dales, otherwise known as God’s Own Country.

Sat within a secluded glacial bowl, stretching across windswept valley hills and with a network of dry stone walls; the heather-covered moors, wild flower woodland, grassy meadows and scrubland make for breathtaking scenery and backdrops.
