Dyke Croft Farm is situated just outside of Ravenglass on the West Coast of Cumbria in The Lake District.Farmed by Robert & Ann Thornton, the farm specialises in beef and sheep.

We have diversified in latter years into tourism. We have two Holiday Cottages, one sleeping 8 the other 4. They are both equipped to a high standard and are open all year round.They are ideal for holidaymakers requiring a quiet rural location with easy access to wonderful scenery and countryside walks.

The farm is predominantly a hill farm in the Lake District. Most of the land is land falls in a strip between the Western fells and coast. The lower land has better producing fields, which are used to provide fodder for the farm and to fatten the stock.

The farm business does some subcontracting to neighbouring farms.We have an umbilical cord and injector system for spreading farm slurry, a self propelled harvester and other machinery available for hire.

Farm walks and tours can be arranged for visiting parties (groups up to 40). Please contact us for further details.

 

The Farm is an hour from Junction 36 on the M6 (Kendal exit) or an hour and a half from Carlisle.
