You will most certainly be greeted at the entrance by numerous animals wishing to say hello. Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys and Peacocks will inevitably be the first.
Many hundreds of hens and cockerels have been rescued here over the years from battery farms and from slaughter elsewhere or from unwanted homes. They along with all the other animals and birds will spend the rest of their natural lives in peace and harmony with freedom.
There is a Guinea pig hut where a large number are there to see, from babies to seniors. Rabbit hutches containing many breeds are scattered around the site and you will see a rabbit running around (as each has it's turn loose!)
As you walk around the site as well as those mentioned above, Vietnamese pot bellied pigs abound, friendly goats and geese stroll about, while circling overhead are more than 200 white and fantailed doves and pigeons.
In the paddock areas there are many breeds of goats and sheep, together with horses, ponies and a donkey, all of which have been saved from a known fate.
After enjoying the animals, take a stroll across the bridge and around the lovely fresh water lake, home to a variety of fish including Carp, Tench, Perch and Roach and then along the woodland paths. You must try the maze and see how long it takes to find your way out again!.
In the woods you will also see a splendid Giant Redwood Tree, touch it and see how soft the bark is.
There are also delightful views over the river Stour.
After your walk you may care to visit the tea rooms and gift shop, where inexpensive and tasty home-made meals, teas, coffees, cold drinks, ice-creams and home made pies & cakes are our speciality.
