Pennywell Farm, Buckfastleigh, Devon
If you’re planning a day out in Totnes when you’re staying at one of our large group holiday cottages in Devon, make time for a visit to Pennywell Farm near Buckfastleigh. The kids will certainly thank you for it because there’s a lot here to entertain their busy little minds. Take them to meet the animals who live here, the miniature ponies, pigs and donkeys, the baby goats and the little lambs. They’ll see ducks and chickens waddling around, Highland cattle munching the grass in the fields, tortoises plodding along, and so much more, from rabbits, guinea pigs and tiny pygmy hedgehogs to deer, alpacas and heavy horses.
Look out for activities throughout the day because who would want to be in your shoes if you miss the pony pampering, pig feeding, ferret racing or goat walking? Get up close to the deer and the hedgehogs, watch the daily show in the main barn, go pond dipping. Also included in your ticket price are rides, with the Red Rocket for age 4+, Run Rabbit Go Karts for the over 8’s and The Rainbow Railway and Tractor and Trailer Rides for the whole family to enjoy!
There are food shacks around the farm, an ice cream kiosk in the summer and Noah’s Barn where the kids can have fun on the soft play while you queue up for stone baked pizzas. Otherwise, take a picnic and find a bench where you can tuck into your sarnies and sausage rolls.
Open Feb-Oct 9:00am-4:00pm every day
