What is there to do at Amelia Trust Farm?
While you’re at the Farm, make the most of the open space and glorious woodland. While dogs will need to be on leads when they aren’t competing, our woodland is ideal for a dog walk. There are plenty of paths to follow and interesting textures and smells, so make sure you bring shoes that’ll allow you to go for an adventure.
‘I love bringing Neo to the farm, he is always excited when he realises this is where we have come for our walk. The woodlands are peaceful for me and give Neo lots to sniff and explore, the outdoor animals give his brain lots to think about too and I take home a happy & tired dog’
Sam, a regular dog walker at the Farm
Please remember to pick up your poo!
