Activities

Ambury

Farm Animals - Viewing

The farm animals at Ambury are family favourites. You will see sheep, goats, cows, pigs, pet lambs (in spring), chickens, turkey, rabbits and peacocks. Grassy lanes between the animal enclosures help you get up close to the animals safely. Alternatively feel free to go into the paddocks to mingle with them (except during lambing in late July and August).

Also, between the months of June and December, dairy cows are milked once a day at 10.30am. This milk is used to feed calves and pigs between 8.00 – 8.30 and 4.00 – 4.30. Once the calves are old enough they are fed at the same time as cow milking.
