Great day out for the family! Pick your own berries, have a coffee and ice cream, play mini golf or play on the playground. The playground is under a big tree so it’s lovely and cool on a hot day.

Mostly cows and sheep but a few random animals like ostrich. Great for the kids and a nice walk around. Buy some pellets to feed the animals. Love it when they have the piglets running around :)
