There is always something to see and do “down on the Farm”.
Our farm walk provides an ideal opportunity to safely stroll around, look at the animals and watch the animals being fed.
Children in particular love feeding the ducks and chickens, or offering an apple to our miniature Shetland ponies, Milligan and Hanniford, but especially “Bunny Pig Village”, where they can see our rabbits and guinea pigs running freely.
The pygmy goats are always curious and good entertainment for adults and children alike; and with our traditional and rare breed Ruby Red Devon cattle, Saddleback and Welsh pigs, Wiltshire Horn and Badger Faced sheep, there is plenty more to keep everyone interested.
This year we will be lambing the end of April and have piglets due early May. A great experience for all and the opportunity to see them born or bottle feed the young ones.
In addition to our own animals, there is an abundance of natural wildlife and fauna to see and explore. Wild flowers are in every field and along every hedgerow. Foxes, squirrels, badgers, red deer and roe deer are all a common sight. Hundreds of swallows herald the coming of summer, but throughout the year there are dozens of birds to spot; Pheasants, robins, wrens, owls, hawks, wagtails, finch’s., tits and many, many more.
Great fun on your door step!
