Set within 70 acres of wonderful countryside including native ancient woodland, streams and springs, it provides a safe environment.

The Farm is close to all the activity venues. You can also walk to many directly from the Farm. Rest assured, although there are sheep in the enclosed surrounding fields, there is no major machinery on site. This is a safe and secure setting.
