Clarkson’s Farm season four is out and it sees the presenters continued journey of managing the Diddly Squat farm.

In the newest season, with Kaleb away, a new farmhand is brought in, Harriet Cowan, and Clarkson’s focus turn to setting up a pub.

While The Farmer’s Dog takes up much of the new season, the farm continues to grow year on year since Clarkson took it over.

One fan took to Reddit to share aerial photos from Google, showing just how much the operation has grown. Clarkson took over the farm in 2019, having bought it all the way back in 2008.

When the farmer previously running things retired, the former Top Gear presenter decided to take charge, spawning Clarkson’s Farm.

In that time he has clearly made a host of improvements and expansion projects as is evident by the pictures.

One fan commented on the post, which shows pictures of the farm from above between 2019 and 2025, saying: “Thank you for these, fantastic perspective.”

Another commented: “Goes from just dump everything outside to we need to put stuff in sheds so it doesn’t get ruined, pretty typical farm development.”

Over the six years of running the farm, Clarkson has expanded it multiple times, most notably when he set up a Diddly Squat farm shop.

The presenter later had an application to add a restaurant and 70 vehicle carpark to the farm shop denied.

West Oxfordshire District Council denied Clarkson’s planning application, stating fears around the effects it would have on traffic in the area.

This marked the high point in a long feud between the presenter and the local authority.

The council was forced to issue statements after season two and three of the show, however have not featured much in season four so far.

This is due to the fact that Clarkson’s search for a pub has involved him looking for places that purposely do not lie within their remit.

Clarkson has not, however, managed to entirely avoid council trouble.

The presenter comes out of a meeting with another council, Cotswold District Council, where he discussed planning a pub he was potentially looking to purchase, the Coach and Horses inn.

He was left with his head in his hands, however, stating they had ‘nothing positive to say’.

This has forced the council to release a statement on Clarkson’s Farm, saying to the BBC: “We absolutely refute that any of the officers or councillors involved in working with Jeremy to realise his vision for the Coach and Horses had 'absolutely nothing positive to say' or were awkward.

"There were in fact several positive meetings between Jeremy and his team, and willing officers and councillors at Cotswold District Council.

"These discussions explored how challenges to renovating this pub could be overcome, as part of the pre-application stage of this project. A planning application was never submitted.

“Upon deciding not to pursue purchase of the pub, Jeremy sent an email via his planning agent thanking the council for being 'so open and supportive', and for trying to find solutions to some of the hurdles needed to overcome renovation of the pub.

“He stated that 'the march of time and the feasibility of getting this done within a window that works for television' had been the project's undoing."

Clarkson’s Farm is available to watch on Prime Video now.
