The Borrowdale Valley

Hollows Farm was established in the early 17th century. The land surrounding Hollows has always been farmed, mainly with flocks of native Herdwick sheep. The National Trust bought Hollows Farm in 1941, and we rent the farm on a long term tenancy to preserve the heritage of hill farming. Our native Herdwick and Cheviot sheep selectively graze the farm’s lowland fields, but spend most of their time up in the fells. The hefted flock is a part of Derwent Common, and grazes high above the farm on High Spy and Maiden Moor. We also have a small herd of Luing cattle, used to sensitively graze the delicate habitats in our farm, encouraging regeneration of flora and fauna, helping to sustain healthy habitats for wildlife.

Over the last few decades, Hollows Farm has diversified and now offers summertime camping, woodland glamping and has a self catering cottage in the farmyard. Whilst staying with us, you will most likely see our native sheep and cows around the farm, as well as our friendly working dogs.
