Cows & Milking

See our herd of Highland Cattle

We have acquired a small herd of pedigree Highland Cattle. These were bred by a local breeder Joy Griffiths and we have been fortunate to add these magnificent creatures to our farming stock.

Hand milking, once daily 1.00pm

Have a go at hand milking a cow!  At 1.00pm each day you can try hand milking a friesian cow. Our experienced staff will show you what to do, and if you shy away from milking the cow you can stroke her instead.

A great opportunity to get close to these wonderful animals. We recommend hand milking for over fives only.

Parlour Milking, once daily 1.15pm

At 1.15pm you can then join us in our high–tech milking parlour to see where milk comes from before it gets to the supermarket shelf.

The Victorian farm provides a contrast to show how milking used to be done! You can see the restored victorian cow stalls in the main building . Our site was a model Victorian farm, in 1900 there were 100 cows being milked here, and all by hand!
