The Yorkshire Shepherdess: Summer at Ravenseat Farm in eight photos
Amanda Owen has spoken out about the realities of life at her remote Swaledale hill farm after the publication of her third book.
Amanda - also known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess - and her family starred in the Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm in 2018, and viewers were charmed by her nine children's simple, rustic upbringing without mobile phones or a reliable electricity supply. Their tenant farm, Ravenseat, has been cultivated since the Viking period and lies in one of the most isolated areas of Upper Swaledale - they're regularly snowed in during winter and their nearest neighbours are over a mile away. In an attempt to diversify, they welcome visitors and offer tours of the farm, home-made teas and a shepherd's hut where walkers can stay overnight. Read the full interview with Amanda here.
