Tractor and Trailer Ride

Come and have a go on our new improved tractor ride. The tractor ride, constructed in April, is now 15 minutes long and takes you past 3 lovely ponds. During the ride you can look at a variety of trees, moorhens with chicks, Egyptian Geese and if you are lucky you may spot a Heron or Roe Deer in the woods.

Play Area

During March we improved our children’s play area and have built a very exciting zip wire which is very popular with young and old! The sandpit now has a digger and there are other new pieces of equipment to play on.

Gift Shop

At Easter time our Souvenir Shop was moved to larger premises to make room for a greater variety of gifts. We stock Wild Boar Meat, gifts and treats for all the family.

Nature

The Spotted Flycatcher bird has made a nest and has had 5 baby birds.

A Blackbird has made a nest and laid 4 eggs. The eggs are light blue & spotted with red.

We have 3 Patagonian Mara or Hares, 1 is a male and the other 2 are females. The Hare are native to Central & Southern Argentina and eat grass and other herbage.

We have a male and a female Skunk and are hoping to breed baby skunks - watch this space!
