About Park Farm
One of the main attractions of Park Farm campsite is the relaxed rural location next to Park Farm.
Park Farm itself is a working farm of some 300 acres. We have a dairy herd and grow arable crops, including the sunflowers you can see decorating our website.
Park Farm is participating in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. This means that care is taken to leave habitats for wildlife. For example, margins are left around the edges of fields to encourage hedgerow wildlife and ground nesting birds.
If you walk around the farm, you may see deer, barn owls and other species of birds, butterflies and insects.
