Voices From The Dales

Our Ingleborough pt.1: Farming

Andrew Fagg/Dales Countryside Museum Season 1 Episode 9

The Ingleborough area covers around 100 square kilometres and it is the mountainous heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.  It is mostly a farmed landscape.  In Part One of Our Ingleborough , commoner and dairyman John Dawson explains hill farming practices. ‘Our mark is a red arse,’ he says, referring to his sheep, before developing the argument that ‘everything is fine as long as you walk hand in hand with nature’.  Presented by Andrew Fagg and Anna Greenwood.
