Why it's Wildland
5.3A family-run visitor farm opened in 2013, with a farm and nature trail where visitors can encounter farm animals and follow seasonal routes.
The draw is a family-friendly farm trail that combines animal encounters with walks through farmland and woodland. It offers a countryside day out, though it is a managed attraction rather than a remote wild place.
