Farm Park

[Caran]

We are taking grandchildren out for the day on Friday. We thought about Newbridgeplaybarn Play Barn and Farm Park near Ledbury. Has anyone been there and is it any good?

I haven't been but it's the perfect time to go - lots of lambs.

Or the Cotswold Farm Park (Adam for Countryfile) is 30 miles from Ledbury

[Caran]

Have been there, it was very good but a bit far out for us.

I've heard good things about Newbridge from people around here but don't go to Dick Whittington's (unless it has been hit by a bomb and rebuilt, terrible place for the money but so much potential).

Hi Sherr been there quite a few times, it is expensive but the children like it. I usually wait until they have a voucher in the paper for free adults entry. Also like Cattle Country but not paying £8.75 each.

It's generally well reviewed (with just a few dissenting voices) on TripAdvisor:

Be sure to make certain that the grandchildren wash their hands in they touch any of the animals.

Having read the reviews, can I come too, Caran? I promise to wash my hands after touching the animals :D

Thanks for the trip advisor Chris, some really good reviews there. Looking forward to going. Will take a picnic too.
Sandy they are very good at hand washing, they don't get away with much with me.

Course you can hc. Setting off about 11.00 is that ok?

[sherrardk]

Mine are still at school or we might have joined you (lucky escape there).

Sherr I don't understand the school holidays now. This is the Easter holiday they are off two weeks before hand and go back the day after Easter Monday.
