The Prince William visited Crow Trees Farm in Swaledale, where he met farmer Adam Hunter, 37, along with his wife Leanne and their children.

Mr Hunter, who keeps sheep and cattle, has diversified the family business by converting a barn into a bunkhouse that sleeps 27 people.

During the visit, the Prince also met neighbouring farmers Philip Metcalfe, 53, and his son James, 23, of Usha Gap Farm, as well as Michael and Hannah Waggett, both 36, of nearby Satron Farm.

William brought a box of cakes from a local bike stop during the visit and discussed the challenges facing the farming sector, including rising fuel costs.

Mr Hunter outlined how farmers are balancing livestock work with additional business ventures, while also highlighting the close-knit nature of the Swaledale farming community.
