Things to do
On the farm you can enjoy educational tours around the farm and daily feeding of the animals. There is plenty of space to run free and wild. Climbing trees, den building a DIY nature hunt, a play area to let them blow off some steam. And campfire areas dotted around in secret spots on the farm. And if you can tear yourself away from the farm there is plenty of adventure to be had right on our doorstep. See Farm Visits for more details
