Our 840 acre (340 hectare) Southern upland farm belonged to the Cally Estate until 1914 and ever since has been family owned and run, first as a dairy and sheep farm and latterly beef and sheep by the previous generation. Marc and Isobel have been here now since 2004 and having experimented with various types of farming have now settled into sheep farming and have a flock of about 350 ewes of varying breeds mainly Llewyn. We also have a small herd of black Galloway cattle.
Large parts of the farm are semi - natural heath and wetlands with extensive wildlife.
Deer and birdllfe such as barn owls and falcons are to be seen and we see a lot of red kites. The Cuckoo is to be heard in spring on Barcloy Hill.
Walking can be enjoyed on the farm and a climb up Barcloy Hill (268m) affords stunning 360 degree views of the area and coastline.
Guests are welcome to explore the farm but please check first as some fields with cows and calves may be unsafe.
