Standalone Farm 5.33

You'll find a warm welcome awaits you here, where you'll discover a great day out for all the family!

In the spring, the sights and sounds of newborn lambs, calves and chicks delight the visitors. Ducks waddle around the farmyard and paddle happily in Pix Brook, which meanders through the farm. Pigs, free-range chickens and rarer breeds of poultry can be seen as you wander around the farmyard.

A pleasant picnic area is located next to an outdoor children’s play area and indoor picnic facilities are available during inclement weather. There's also the Standalone Cafe for farm visitors and a Walkers Cafe for those passing by on the Greenway. The farm walk takes you through surrounding paddocks, past sheep, cows, different breeds of goats and horses all contentedly grazing.

A wander around the displays in the exhibition barn containing seventy bird specimens, mammals, animal skulls, model dinosaurs, creepy crawlies and a working beehive, will prove interesting to both adults and children. A gentle stroll away, and easily accessible to the disabled, as is much of the farm, are specially constructed hides to view wildfowl in their natural habitat.
