VIP Animal Experience: Amelia Trust Farm is a registered charity care farm and donkey sanctuary. Animals receive the highest quality of care from the dedicated team. Specially designed one-to-one interactions last 30 minutes with up to 4 people for £45. Experiences include walking pygmy goats or meeting alpacas Horace and Hufflepuff. Children aged 5+ can participate but must be supervised by a responsible adult. Entrance tickets are required, and bookings can be made via 01446 782030 or [email protected].
Woodland: Semi-ancient woodland features winding paths, gorgeous flora and fauna, and a perfect place for a wander between the trees.

- Merlin’s Trail: The shortest woodland walk begins at the amphitheatre and leads to the sheep field. The path is on one level but can be narrow in places.
- Woodland Wildlife: The woodland is home to bats, birds, and insects. Volunteers carry out Bioblitz sessions to record species. Nature enthusiasts are welcome to volunteer with no prior experience needed.
Bunkhouse Stays: Bunkhouse accommodation is available for groups of up to 30 people, offering free access to the extensive care farm. Visitors can explore semi-ancient woodland, trails, meet 20 species of animals, and play in the adventure park. The surrounding Welsh countryside provides a memorable outdoor adventure.
