Parents can drop off their children and collect at XXXXX pm or pay for a day ticket and enjoy a walk or time on the farm.
You are then free to explore the farm, take a walk along the river, get all nostalgic on our fairy tale trail, get to grips with nature on our habitat trail or say hi to the rest of the farm residents again.
Meeting the sheep is generally an outdoor event and we encourage you to come prepared for Cumbrian weather! Wellies and a raincoat is probably a must.
