Nethergill Farm was the result of just two families' lifelong ambition to create a sustainable wildlife haven and long term conservation project. Situated in Langstrothdale at the headwaters of the Wharfe on the Dales Way, it is no ordinary farm. Set in 400 acres between 1,200 and 1,600 feet above sea level, Nethergill nestles quietly into the hillside below the road to Hawes.
With 70 acres of 'in bye' or grazing land around the house and the rest, exposed, wet, peaty, unproductive moorland, the land is perfect for our rare breed Belted Galloway cattle and the native wildlife of the Dales. The large Victorian Farmhouse and traditional farm buildings were built in 1871 and the original occupant a Mr Woodd, cousin to the famous naturalist Charles Darwin.

Step off the world and revive yourself in the peace and tranquility of our self-catering haylofts. Part of an original stone barn built in 1871 with cowshed (or shippon) below, Nethergill Byre has been sympathetically converted into a comfortable, quirky hayloft on 3 levels. Many of the original beams are still in situ and the windows look out over woodland, fell, cobbled yard, and farmyard.

Nethergill Field Centre is part of an old cow byre (or shippon) used until the 1960's to house approximately 40 dairy cows through the winter. After being sympathetically converted, it's now a great space suitable for a variety of functions. Spread over two levels, the main area consists of a large, open room with a Yorkshire flagged stone floor and a wood burning stove in the corner.
Education
Report
Part of our vision is to create a sustainable farming system in a wildlife haven which we can share with others. We welcome school groups, universities, clubs and societies to the farm by prior arrangement. Our aim is to demonstrate the link between food, farming and the environment, bringing visiting groups closer to their natural surroundings.
