Description
The Herdwick sheep are native to the Lake District and have lovely smiley faces. They are the hardiest of all Britain’s breeds of hill sheep, living on the highest of England’s mountains. Even today, they are managed in the traditional way, on the Lake District fells that have been their home for generations.
You can encounter these friendly and hardy characters on the high fells of the region as well as in the valley bottoms. Herdwick sheep have a reputation for being able to survive and thrive on the most difficult terrain thanks to their long thick legs! For those of you who are fans of the famous children's author Beatrix Potter, you will be interested to discover that she bred these sheep through her love for them and even showed them in breeding competitions.
