South of England Rare Breeds Centre
A collection of rare and traditional breeds on a working farm; an Approved Centre of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Visitors can see pigs, goats, sheep, cattle and poultry, with many areas where children can stroke the animals. Meet the 'Tamworth Two', the famous pigs who hit the headlines when they escaped from an abattoir. 'Yonsea Farm' is a local Georgian farmstead which is being rebuilt using traditional skills. There is also an indoor soft play 'Play Barn', a playground, sandpit, paddling pool, trailer rides in summer, woodland walks and a regular programme of events.
