West Lodge Rural Centre

The Dee Family have been Farming at West Lodge for 3 generations. The working farm opened it’s doors to the public 20 years ago and is now a place where families can spend the whole day enjoying farm life and the wonderful countryside around them. Children of all ages can meet and learn about our range of farm animals, including many rare breeds. They can handle the fluffy young chicks, rabbits and guinea pigs in Cuddle Corner and laugh at the antics of our pygmy goats on Goat Mountain. You can feed the ducks, groom a pony, watch and get involved in the ever popular piglet race, plus many more seasonal animal activities, such as lamb bottle feeding in the spring. There is plenty to see and do under cover too, with all activities and a good variety of penned animals on display in our many barns near the centre.
