Set up and run by three generations of the Swain family, the farm park was conceived during the second lockdown as a way of allowing visitors to share in the joy of their livestock and seeing baby animals first hand.

The park has a variety of animals on show, including Boer and Pygmy goats, Alpacas, Traditional 'Mini' Herefordshire Cattle, Tolouse Geese and Rheas. As well as Valais Blacknose and Zwartble Sheep

The farm park was finally able to open in mid-July and is open, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays until the end of September.

They also have a picnic area and light refreshments on sale.

Dan Hurcomb, a partner in the farm park, said it offers a chance for people to get back to nature and see a variety of farm animals whilst enjoying the scenery.

Prices are set at £7 for an adult, £5 for a child and £20 for a family of four.
