The great barn situated in the courtyard at Dalemain was built in the 1500’s and is one of the largest loft barns in the north of England.  The roof height was raised in 1685 by order of Sir Edward Hasell. The barn now houses the agricultural museum and fell pony museum on the upper floor.  Look to your right at the end of the enclosed passageway before turning left for the stairs and you will see the old cloisters under the barn.

Step back in time and see the farming equipment used by our fore fathers. Items on display include:
Carts, ploughs, cultivators and various other equipment and hand tools.

The fell pony museum displays: horse collars, harnesses and various pictorial histories.  There is a blacksmith's workshop at the far end of the barn.
