All our guests were invited to par-take in our activities of Falconry, Pond Dipping, Woodland Fun and Archery and a new activity, exclusive to February half […]
We were visited by the BBC Countryfile team during December whilst they filmed a piece about life on a Cornish farm at Christmas. It was very exciting for all of us, but particularly the Hawkey children who couldn’t believe they were actually going to be on TV! Adam joined Andrew in one of our fields […]
