Travel back to 1646 and meet the characters who populated Torrington, North Devon's forgotten site of the last major battle of the English Civil War. Try on the armour and clothing of the day and watch daily weaponry displays.
Go home showing that you know everything there is to know about sheep! Learn breeds of sheep, shearing processes, watch sheep dog trials and laugh out loud at the exiting sheep races. Also baby animals including puppies and rabbits and opportunities to bottle feed the lambs. (You may also learn when lambing season is!)
Indoor and outdoor activities as well as a well equipped bird of prey centre combine for a fun day out for all the family.
How could you come to Devon without noticing the moors and beaches. With the Tarka trail running through the farm you will find it the ideal location to base a week of exploration of sandy beaches, rugged coastlines, beautiful bays, expansive moors and tranquil space.
