Holme Open Farm

Holme Open Farm is a traditional working sheep and cattle farm run by Chris and Laura, situated on the edge of the River Rawthey between the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales in the Lune Valley near Sedbergh, Cumbria.

The farm sits at around 80–100 metres above sea level, with hill grazing rights extending up Middleton Fell to 300 metres, offering sweeping views across nine valleys. The site offers grass camping pitches with shared toilet, shower, and washing-up facilities.

A Roman road runs through the farmyard and fords the River Rawthey, and the surrounding area includes the remains of a Stone Age village, a designated wildlife interest area with orchids, and rich wildlife including foxes, badgers, herons, and woodpeckers.

Wild swimming in the Rawthey is accessible nearby. Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead throughout this working farm.
