World Horse Welfare Hall Farm

What it’s like

A working rescue farm where you walk right up to the stable yard and meet the horses in for care.

This isn't a farm with a bouncy castle and a tractor ride bolted on. It's a proper rescue centre, and the main event is walking into the stable yard and meeting the horses being cared for there, nose to nose if they're feeling sociable. There are play areas too, so it's not all standing and looking, but the yard is the bit that'll get talked about on the way home.

Beyond the yard there are farm walks, up to four miles if you fancy it, with shorter routes marked out for anyone with a buggy or short legs that give up after twenty minutes. It's open ground, dog friendly, wheelchair and pushchair accessible.

Booking's required, every visit, which does mean you can't just decide on a whim on a sunny Tuesday and turn up. Once that's sorted though it's straightforward: weekends year round, plus Wednesdays in the school holidays, when they run something called Wacky Wednesday. Opening hours are 11 till 4.

There's a café on site for when the walking's done and everyone wants sitting down and feeding.
