LOCATION
The Haybarn Studio is adjacent to our holiday accommodation on our farm in the tranquil seclusion of the Upper Dove valley.
NOT JUST LOTS OF GRASS
Apart from diverse grassland – efficiently grazed by our land managers –the sheep- there are richly varied habitats including woodland, hedgerows, wetlands, ponds and, of course, the upper reaches of the River Dove to enrich your visit.
ALL THAT AND 1066
For those interested in the past, there is evidence of medieval farming practices to be seen on the fields; while across the river looms the impressive bulk of the Norman Pilsbury Castle.
