Tipped to be one of most popular points of interest in all of Telford the Hoo Farm’s ever growing Animal Kingdom is a true treasure trove of adventure for animal lovers from far and wide. Boasting a diverse animal population that numbers over 100 species, the sheer number and variety of activities on offer at the farm provides a jam-packed itinerary for all visitors. The Farm Trail is the ideal place to start as the tour takes visitors to various quarters of the farm where enclosures devoted to various animal varieties are found. Visitors can interact with the talkative parrots in the Parrot Yard on step over to the Terrapins sanctuary for some one on one time with the curious creatures. The Furries, Will’s Wild Worlds and the Churchhills Yard’s Chipmunk Circus are also worth a visit while the Sheep Race Course is another highlight for both the young and old.
Guests can grab a sandwich, pastry or a cup of tea at the Cow Shed Tea Room while the Hungry Shepherd Coffee Shop is also available to coffee lovers on weekends. The Hoollee Town and Fairy Wood enclosures are also part of the Farm Trail and are some of its most visited areas in the farm as the Hoolleeville residents and the Hoollee School are integral parts of the experience. The Fairy Wood experience is for true believers in the magical creatures as one also gets to make a wish at the end of the tour.
Pony rides are equally popular while the Play Time Area contains an indoor/outdoor play region, pedal go-carts and a sand art area in addition to electric cars and tractors. Hoollee Gem Digging and Dippy Duck Racing are some of the other attractions for kids in Play Time while all visitors can take part in or watch demonstrations on farm work such as lamb/deer/pig feeding, donkey grooming and egg collecting. The Bunny Beauty Parlour, Sheep Steeplechase and Meet the Reptiles are other quarters worth exploring in the farm which is also home to a quirky gift store with a wide variety of attractive souvenirs.
