Situated in Arkleby, near Aspatria (northwest Cumbria)

Summer brings warmer days and nights to Ewe Close and its time for most of our animals to live outdoors full time.

Fences and gates have been reinforced and shelters have been constructed for the goats, as they absolutely hate getting wet when it rains!

The sheep have been sheared so they're cooler when the sun's shining and their wool is available to buy. Check out our 'For Sale' page for more information.
