How Hill Farm, near Ludham, welcomed around 120 visitors for a scenic farm walk organised by rural agency Brown&Co.

Once part of the historic How Hill Estate, the farm's 116ha of arable land is now farmed by contractors, but specialist crops and seasonal markets also play a key role in its diversification.
