Kids will love coming face to face with a turtle, riding a pony, meeting the giant rabbit, holding insects and creepy crawlies for the first time and feeding and petting the goats, sheep and llamas. They can also hitch a ride on the back of a tractor and swing on a rope like Spiderman before launching into giant hay bales for a super soft landing.
Indoors the newly improved play barn offers children a great secure space to run free. Toddlers will also love their own designated soft play area where they can tumble, fall and crawl through all the activities without fear of getting hurt. Back outside green space and picnic spots surround the large playground.

Malvern Hills
Walking, cycling or horse riding on The Malvern Hills . The Malvern Hills are in the English counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and a small area of northern Gloucestershire, dominating the surrounding countryside and the towns and villages of the district of Malvern. The highest summit affords a panorama of the Severn Valley, the hills of Herefordshire and the Welsh mountains, parts of thirteen counties, the Bristol Channel, and the cathedrals of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford.[1]
They are known for their spring water – initially from holy wells, and later the spa town of Great Malvern, which led to the production of the modern bottled drinking water.[2]
The Malvern Hills have been designated as a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest, and by Natural England as National Character Area 103 and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
