Farming across the North

Yorkshire has extensive arable farming on the Wolds and in the Vale of York, pigs, poultry and vegetables in the east, and livestock on the Dales and North York Moors. Cheshire and Lancashire are traditional dairy country, with rich grassland supporting many herds.

Cumbria and the Pennines are dominated by hill sheep and suckler cattle, and Cumbria also has a significant dairy sector. In the North East, Northumberland and Durham mix arable land on the coastal plain with upland livestock.

Practical points for northern roles

Hill and dairy farms can be remote, especially in Cumbria, the Dales and Northumberland, and winter weather can make access harder. A capable vehicle, or a role with on-farm accommodation, makes life much easier.

Towns such as York, Harrogate, Chester, Carlisle and Hexham make good bases for commuting, and some livestock roles offer tied housing on or near the farm. If you are relocating from another part of the UK, give your timescale so the employer can plan around it.
