Our new rugs are a beautiful design aiming to combine the traditional qualities of Herdwick fleece with contemporary design. Woven for us in the Scottish Borders they show the natural colours of the Herdwick wool with a hint of colour in a few understated stripes of dyed Herdwick.

Pam Hall is a hand weaver, working mainly in wool from her own sheep. Her inspiration comes from the ever changing magnificent landscape of her local area, the Northern Fells of the English Lake District.
Fornside is a working sheep farm. Most of our sheep are Herdwicks, the iconic Lakeland breed. They are the hardiest of sheep well suited for harsh winters on the fells. The wool is relatively coarse but full of character and very hardwearing.
You can stay at Fornside Farm. We have 4 lovely 4* self catering cottages converted from traditional stone barns. Click here for more details.
