A Working Hill Livestock Farm

Welcome to West Ilkerton Farm in the heart of Exmoor National Park.

On this family-run farm, our aim is to blend modern knowledge with traditional farming methods using local breeds that are suited to the area. ‘Red ruby’ Devon cattle and Exmoor horn sheep have been bred here in an unbroken line for well over a century.

Bespoke farm tours offer a rare opportunity to explore areas of Exmoor not usually accessible to the public from the comfort of a tractor-drawn trailer. We tailor the tours to your needs and interests, and they are ideal for people with limited mobility. One of our trailers is wheelchair-accessible and can take up to two wheelchairs.


Born and raised at West Ilkerton

Native to Devon, our pedigree herd of ‘red ruby’ Devon cattle and flock of sheep are our pride and joy.
