Our turkeys can be seen in the paddocks and outbuildings. The flabby and elongated bits of skin that dangle from the turkey’s neck is called a wattle.

Chickens

We have a variety of different types of chickens including the Sussex – believed to be the first bred in Britain around the time of the Roman invasion.

Peacocks

Peacocks are members of the pheasant family. The male is a peacock and female penhen, a group of peafowl is called a ‘party’.

Guinea Fowl

Our Guinea Fowl seem to have a personality all their own. They can be quite comical at time and love to watch their own reflection.

Friendly family-run farm

We’re always around looking after our animals.

Our animal barn has been designed so that children of all ages can enjoy excellent views of the animals in the barn all year round – visitors can get close in a safe and hygienic environment.

If our animals aren’t in the barn they may grazing at their leisure in the paddocks, being playful or resting.

Take an opportunity to enjoy wander around the paddocks and the stunning back drop of the South Downs. Try and spot Wolstonbury Hill and other features of the South Downs Way including the northern slopes that lead to Devil’s Dyke.

Please note: Visitors are welcome to use a pushchair but some of the stone paths that surround the paddocks are rugged and there are slight inclines in places.
