Clarkson’s Farm has officially returned with Season 4, and fans couldn’t be more excited. Since the show first premiered in 2021, it has captured millions of viewers with its mix of humor, real-life farming struggles, and Jeremy Clarkson’s entertaining attempt at running a farm. The new season not only continues the story at Diddly Squat Farm but also introduces a fresh location—a countryside pub that brings even more challenges.
At NetFilming, we’ve explored the key filming spots and timeline of Season 4 to give you all the details in one place.
Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 Filming Locations
The main filming location for Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 is, no surprise, Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. Season 4 was also filmed at a new location, The Farmer’s Dog Pub in Asthall, near Burford, Oxfordshire. Let’s explore all filming locations in detail.
Diddly Squat Farm, Oxfordshire
The heart of Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 remains the now-iconic Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. This place has been a big part of the show since it started, and it’s in the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is known for its calm beauty and rolling green fields. This location makes it the perfect setting for the show’s honest look at British farming.
Jeremy Clarkson originally bought the 1,000-acre farm back in 2008. But it wasn’t until 2019, when his farm manager retired, that Clarkson took over the day-to-day operations himself. That decision led to the creation of the show and the wildly popular Diddly Squat brand.
What You’ll See at Diddly Squat
Season 4 features many familiar sights, including:
- The vast farmland, where Jeremy plants crops and handles animals, is a prominent feature of the show.
- The Diddly Squat Farm Shop, which sells locally grown products, jams, and beer.
- Regular cast members like Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Gerald Cooper, and Charlie Ireland.
Despite the addition of new ventures in Season 4, the farm remains the core of the show. As Jeremy says in the trailer: “Same farm. New pub.”
The Farmer’s Dog Pub: A New Addition to Season 4
Season 4 introduces a brand-new filming location: The Farmer’s Dog Pub in Asthall, near Burford, Oxfordshire. Just a short drive from Diddly Squat, this pub, also called The Hawkstone Arms & The Farmer’s Dog, is tied to Jeremy’s Hawkstone Brewery. Opened on August 23, 2024, the pub is a major storyline in Season 4, showing Jeremy’s attempt to bring his “Farm to Fork” vision to life.
The Diddly Squat Farm Shop often gets packed with visitors, so Jeremy saw an opportunity to expand his business. Fans can get a pint of Hawkstone beer and eat local food at The Farmer’s Dog, which also helps with the crowds at the farm shop. Filming at the pub shows everything from its refurbishment to its big opening, offering viewers a look at Jeremy’s new job as a pub owner.
Scenes to Expect at the Pub
In Season 4, you’ll see:
- Jeremy’s process of buying and renovating the pub.
- The challenges of dealing with building regulations and planning approvals.
- Noise issues caused by aircraft from nearby RAF Brize Norton.
- Behind-the-scenes clips of beer tasting, menu planning, and pub trials.
Challenges at The Farmer’s Dog
Filming at the pub was not without its challenges. The site was only 1.5 miles from RAF Brize Norton, and low-flying military planes caused problems there. These problems made Jeremy’s real-life problems worse, like learning how to run a tavern and keeping prices down. The show also shows what the staff is doing, such as Lisa Hogan working on a new product and Kaleb helping out while on tour in the UK from January 25 to March 11, 2024.
When Was Season 4 Filmed?
Filming for Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 took place mostly in 2023 and early 2024, capturing the real rhythms of farm life and the pub’s development. Here’s a quick timeline:
- Farm Scenes: Shot throughout 2023, these follow the actual farming seasons, showing Jeremy and the team planting crops, raising livestock, and battling relentless wet weather that made farming extra tough.
- Pub Scenes: Filming at The Farmer’s Dog likely happened in late 2023 and early 2024, leading up to its public opening in August 2024.
- Release Dates: Season 4 premiered on May 23, 2025, with episodes released in three batches: episodes 1–4 on May 23, episodes 5–6 on May 30, and episodes 7–8 on June 6, all on Amazon Prime Video.
The timing of the shoot added authenticity, as the show captures real challenges like unpredictable weather and Kaleb’s absence during his tour. It’s this realness that keeps fans coming back.
Is Clarkson’s Farm Ending Soon?
Jeremy has said that Clarkson’s Farm might end after Season 5, saying, “Everyone needs a break.” Fans are hoping that the show will go on beyond Season 5, which is already in production. For now, Season 4 has the same combination of funny, hard, and heartwarming moments that make the show so great.
Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 Behind The Scenes
The behind-the-scenes journey of Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 offers just as much drama and humor as the show itself. Filming wasn’t always smooth—especially with the addition of a real working pub. According to the production team, one of the biggest challenges was dealing with noise interference from military aircraft. The pub, located near RAF Brize Norton, is directly under a busy flight path, which caused frequent interruptions during takes.
Producer Andy Wilman mentioned in an interview, “We had to pause so many times due to jets flying overhead—it became a running joke on set.” Yet, these unexpected issues only added to the show’s authentic and spontaneous style.
Jeremy Clarkson himself commented on the filming process, saying, “It’s not just about tractors and sheep anymore—now we’ve got beer taps and building permits to worry about.”
Filming also involved capturing real-time farming struggles, from failed crop yields to livestock issues. Kaleb Cooper continued to be a fan favorite, often stepping in to correct Clarkson’s questionable farm decisions. Lisa Hogan also got more involved, especially with the shop and product development scenes.
The production crew had to work year-round, matching their schedule to the real farming calendar, meaning long hours and unpredictable weather. Despite these challenges, Season 4 managed to deliver a fresh, funny, and genuinely informative look at rural life.
