Herefordshire has plenty of fantastic options for family days out at the farm.

Here are five of the best for the family during the summer months.

Farm Park & Owl Centre

The aptly named Farm Park & Owl Centre near Kington is perfect for animal-loving families.

It's home to a multitude of creatures including miniature farm breeds, donkeys, pigs, and red squirrels.

There’s also an impressive variety of owls, making it a hit with children.

Newbridge Farm Park near Ledbury is a family-run venture that often features on lists of top farms.

It offers hands-on animal feeding, petting sessions, outdoor play areas, and a bumpy tractor ride - a great choice for families with children.

Looking for something a bit different?

Old King Street Farm offers llama trekking - a unique chance to walk with llamas through the surrounding countryside.

Drovers Rest Farm in the peaceful Golden Valley offers "animal encounters and farm visits" on an organic farm.

Visitors can learn about regenerative and organic farming.

For families with a taste for food and drink-based outings, Newton Court is an organic fruit farm and cider/perry producer.

While it is not a children’s farm park, it provides an insight into Herefordshire’s cider culture, which adults might find particularly interesting.
