The Farm...
The arboretum is set within a working farm which
has a herd of pedigree Hereford suckler cows and calves, and
a flock of north country mule ewes. The farm is in pasture,
and grass is mown in the middle of the year for hay and silage
for winter feed. There is also a collection of unusual purebred
poultry and waterfowl with chicks in abundance in Spring and
Summer.
Many visitors, particularly children, enjoy meeting
the animals in their natural setting. Spring is a favourite
time for visitors with new-born lambs bounding in the fields
and cows with their calves at foot.
"Great to see people who care about
the environment"
