Why it's Wildland

5.2

Rare-breed animals, animal encounters and family play areas make this a lively farm day out in the small Norfolk village of Stow Bardolph.

Church Farm is best understood as a hands-on family attraction rather than a wild landscape: rare-breed animals and seasonal activities give it a clear draw, especially for families with children. Its Wildland appeal is modest, so check current activities and ticket details before making a special journey.
