Farming Life's Darryl Armitage captured this footage of two farmers herding their sheep alongside the Ben Crom Reservoir in the Silent Valley with their sheepdogs.

The valley was filled with the bleating of the sheep as several walkers and tourists took some time out at the reservoir to watch this age old tradition.
