Close Foot Farm

Close Foot Farm is run by Phil Mulcaster who also works for the National Trust as a forester. He keeps Swaledales, Mules and a few Bluefaced Leicester sheep. Phil loves shearing and as well as shearing competitively, shears many flocks around the South Lakes area including our sheep.

Phil's wool is used in our Coniston tweed and throws.
