The Rare Breeds Trail offers the opportunity to view some of the more exclusive animals like the local Gloucestershire cows and Suffolk Punch horses.
Bags of animal snacks are available from the farm shop and are reasonably priced, giving the kids a chance to get up close and personal with the animals as they feed them.
Walks Around Cotswold Farm Park
Take in some of the crisp, fresh Cotswold air on one of the many walks around the farm park.
You can see the sheep, horses, and cows on the Rare Breeds Trail loops around the paddocks, making for a pleasant, short walk.
If you are looking for a longer walk, then the two-mile Wildlife Walk (or one mile if you prefer something a little quicker) is a lovely walk that takes in the spectacular views and seasonal flowers around the farm.
