About the location
High Borrans Farm is ideally situated just a 10-minute drive from Windermere in the picturesque Lake District. The farm is located approximately two and a half miles from Windermere and less than 20 minutes by car from Ambleside. Its convenient position, just a mile off the A591, provides excellent access to the entire national park, including popular destinations such as Keswick, Grasmere, and Ullswater.
The farm is a sprawling 1000-acre working hill farm. It supports a substantial flock of over 1200 Swaledale ewes and approximately 25 beef suckler cows. The farm is situated at an elevation of around 1,300 feet on heather-clad fell tops, an area historically used for grouse shooting. Today, it is recognised as a magnificent setting for nature enthusiasts.
