WILD SWIMMING & WOOD FIRED SAUNA

We have a spring-fed wild swimming pond on the farm, with a wood fired sauna beside it for our guests to use; your own wild spa! It's the perfect way to cool down on a hot day with an invigorating dip. Available to use all year round.

WALKING

Explore the farm and abundance of wildlife with our guided farm walks, walk the Jurassic Way, or along the Oxford Canal tow path which runs through the farm. Pack a picnic or we can recommend somewhere to stop for lunch. The farm is on a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme so we leave grassland strips around all the arable fields and allow wild flower margins which encourages an abundance of wildlife - hares, pheasants, deer, foxes and more... It's also wonderful for bird spotting, especially tree sparrows, skylarks and yellow hammers.
