Farm animals

Not only do you get cosy family accommodation; there's load of fantastic things to see and do on the farm – little Aggie and Alfie were delighted to follow 'Farmer Steve' around. There are pygmy goats, gorgeous ponies and charming pigs to meet, and depending on the season there's a handful of other organised activities on offer. The fabulous outdoor adventure playground is perfect for early morning adventures if one of you fancies a lie in – the wooden boats brought back lovely memories.

About the owners

Jill & her daughter Fiona

We love welcoming visitors to our wonderful park. My husband Jimmy created the farm park in 1974 from the beautiful buildings and land on the Easton Estate, and since then several generations of Suffolk children (and beyond) have visited and had their first hands on experience of farm animals and the countryside here.
