Where is Our Farm in the Dales filmed?
Our Farm in the Dales is filmed on-location at the Baker’s 100-acre family farm in the Durham Dales. The series is also unscripted meaning that the small camera crew follow the family as they go about their daily lives.
The Durham Dales incorporating Teesdale and Weardale is a peaceful and tranquil landscape of moors, hills, valleys and meandering rivers with small villages and market towns.
In Season 2 of Our Farm in the Dales, viewers will get to know all of the animals that live on the farm from the loveable miniature donkeys who stay in a tiny stable yard to Black Welsh Mountain sheep.
When asked about the filming location Matt said: “The scenery is spectacular. As you head north from Scotch Corner, everything on the left-hand side is lovely: miles of green fields rising to massive shoulders of fell, moorland and commons, with the green dales between them.”
