farmer

In the barns and nearby fields there are ponies, horses, cows, goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, turkeys and pets galore - all great favourites with the families who visit us year after year.

Children adore the freedom of Higher Trevinnick as well as the company of Farmer James! They can feed the animals, walk the dogs, collect the eggs and help with jobs in the farmyard. Grooming and riding the pony, having a tractor ride and simply playing on the farm are wonderful diversions for the children whilst you relax or prepare for your day out – that’s if you’re not out enjoying the farm with them!

By involving yourself in the animals’ daily care and routine is not only enjoyable (you’ll have become rather fond of them by the end of your holiday), but it’s educational too - the farrier visits always prove fascinating and many of our animals are the topic of conversation months after your visit, often appearing in future school projects.

Higher Trevinnick Farm is designed to accommodate all – from child friendly animal enclosures and an educational conservation trail to secluded areas around the farm for that “get away” feeling. Enjoy pleasant walks through the fields down to the river, the profusion of wild flowers in the hedgerows and the abundance of wildlife in its natural habitat - so relaxing after a days beaching or sightseeing. Most of the farm is accessible on foot including with kiddies buggy.
