On the farm estate itself, there are plenty of activities to keep guests entertained. Explore and embrace the nature around you, by strolling through the meadows and woodlands with your family and friends. The more adventurous people might climb a tree or build a den in the woods, learn bushcraft, go wild camping in a safe and private environment, swim wild in the lake, paddleboard or drift by on the boat. Alternatively, you might want to get more involved in the regenerative farmwork. Take a guided tour of the farm, and learn about the intricate relationship between livestock, plants and the soil, and how this benefits the wider biodiversity and whole environment we live in. Watch the cattle and sheep being moved, and see them dive in to their new daily salad bar with gusto. Help plant a new orchard, a hedgerow, or perhaps assist in laying a hedge, and building wildlife corridors! Inspire the next generation by giving your children the opportunity to have hands on experiences with lambing, feeding the chickens and pigs, sheep dog training, foraging for wild garlic, mushrooms, nuts and collecting eggs on the way home for breakfast.
