Absolutely great day out. Do not miss it. We arrived at 11am and left at 4pm. Lots to see. Guides are there to tell you more and for you to ask questions.
The animals are out working at different times, for example the Shire horses work in the morning and they get to go in and rest for a few hours. The forge was working all day. Tom was a super guy. He told us all about being a farrier and horse shoes are like human shoes, specific to each foot, who knew!
The animals are brilliant and well cared for. Piglets were born last week and we were able to get quite close. Goats were my favourite.
You will want walking shoes or boots. Wellies for kids. Take a picnic but although the school house cafe was closed, an improvised barbecue was available in the covered picnic area. Allergies are catered for.
My husband uses a wheelchair so we hired their Tramper for the day. Book in advance for this. No charge just a donation.

Used 2 take my kids there every easter when they growing up. So many lovely memories and now it was time to take my 2 grandsons. My kids and i relived our happy memories. Still the same. Great place if u want to see just how hard it was farming in years gone by. The staff so informative like years ago and nice 2 recognise some faces from the past. I would recommend it 2 anyone who interested in history of farming and the great outdoors. And great place 2 take kids

An excellent morning spent here. The staff are brilliant and seem happy to answer any questions. There is plenty to do for a morning/afternoon with scope for more as restrictions ease. The 'little farmers' walk around in the early part of the day was brilliant for children of all ages.
