Agricultural merchants for the Eden Valley and Cumbria
The shop at Langwathby is the third arm of Colin Dawson Ltd, and it exists for a practical reason: the same farms whose parlours we service need feed, chemicals and spares — from somewhere that understands what the part is for. Very few agricultural merchants keep a dairy spares counter, because very few employ the dairy engineers who know which liner fits which cluster. Ours do. Ring 01768 889084 before you set off and we'll check the shelf and have your order ready to collect.
Animal feed
Farm animal feed by the bag from the counter. Ring ahead for what's currently stocked, and we'll set it aside.
Prices move with the market and with the quantities you're buying, so we quote at the counter rather than publish a list. Looking for something not listed? Ring first — if we don't stock it, we'll say so straight and point you right.

Opening hours & how to find us
High Mill, Langwathby, Penrith, CA10 1NB
High Mill sits at Langwathby in the Eden Valley, just off the A686, a few miles north-east of Penrith — minutes from the road for Eden Valley and fellside farms, so you can collect what you need the same morning you run out.
Every order is different. Prices move with the market and with the quantities you're buying, so we'd rather quote you accurately at the counter than publish a number that's out of date next week. Call us on 01768 889084 or email info@colindawsonltd.com with what you need and we'll give you a clear price before anything is ordered.
What are the shop opening hours?
Monday to Friday, 08:00–17:00, at High Mill, Langwathby, Penrith, CA10 1NB. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
What if I need a part outside shop hours?
If a part is what's stopping your parlour, that's a dairy breakdown — ring 01768 889084, which is answered 24 hours a day for milking parlour and dairy equipment breakdowns.
Do you stock dairy spares?
Yes — the dairy spares counter is the shop's speciality: parlour liners, tubing, chemicals and the everyday parts that keep a parlour milking. It's stocked by the same firm that services the parlours.
Do you sell pet food?
Yes — dog food, cat food and wild bird food, alongside household basics like toilet roll, kitchen roll and washing-up liquid. Dogs, cats and wild birds only; ring 01768 889084 to check what's on the shelf.
Can you check stock before I travel?
Yes, and please do — ring 01768 889084, we'll check the shelf while you're on the phone and set your order aside for collection.
