Loveford offers farm animal experiences with Scottish Highland cattle and Valais Blacknose Sheep. You can book a visit to spend time with these gentle animals on the farm. Interaction and feeding opportunities depend on the experience and the animals’ wellbeing on the day.
The experience will allow you 30-45 minutes hands-on with the cattle. You may choose to extend your time for another 45 minutes with a BYO picnic, whilst the animals graze around you. If weather does not permit, you have the option to bring your picnic into the picnic pod and still get to enjoy the views!
