About Gillside Farm

Gillside Farm - Glenridding by Ullswater

The Lightfoot family have been farming at Gillside since 1954. We farm around 160 acres in the Dale around Glenridding as well as a further 160 or so acres further along Ullswater by Watermillock.

Gillside has over 800 award winning Swaledale Ewes and around 25 cattle. It is very much a working farm and so you can be sure of seeing plenty of farming activity during your holiday with us - especially around lambing time in May and June. You can also see our award winning ewes and rams on display at the local show in August.

The farm will be pleased to supply you with fresh milk and eggs just ask at the farmhouse, and if you’re particularly interested in any aspect of life on a working Lakeland farm then let us know!
