Forty Farms
The highs and lows of farming lives in some of England's most beautiful landscapes
Event Navigation
In March 2020, British Life Photographer of the Year Amy Bateman embarked on a journey to photograph farms across the Lake District. Amy’s journey led her from Herdwick-grazed commons to big-sky Solway marshes, from isolated farmsteads to businesses at the cutting-edge of agricultural innovation.
Our Forty Farms exhibition brings captivating photographs of 20 of the farms that Amy visited to the museum garden. The exhibition presents a visual record of contemporary English farming at a period of profound change.
