Important information to read before booking:
The route around the farm is likely to be muddy and uneven, so please bring appropriate footwear such as wellies or walking boots.
With our changeable British weather, it’s also sensible to bring waterproofs and extra layers.
Please note that the cheese stores stay cool even in the summer, so you might want an extra layer in there too.
Unfortunately, dogs are not invited on the tour.
Children over the age of 12 are welcome (with tickets), but please bear in mind that they need to be able to complete the farm walk.
The route is not suitable for wheelchairs.
