Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom
Recommended by
Overview
Hoo Farm is a real children's paradise where there is always something happening. A clean, friendly farm that appeals to all ages and offers close contact with a wide variety of animals from fluffy chicks and lambs to foxes, llamas, deer and ostriches. A daily programme of events encourages audience participation in the form of bottle-feeding lambs, pig feeding, ferret racing and collecting freshly-laid eggs. The Craft Area offers the chance to try your hand at candle dipping, glass or pottery painting or even throwing a pot on the potters wheel. There are junior quad bikes and a rifle range, pony rides, powered mini-tractors as well as indoor and outdoor play areas and a games room. Please telephone for details of special events throughout the year.

About the area
Perhaps nowhere else in England will you find a county so deeply rural and with so much variety as Shropshire. Choose a clear day, climb to the top of The Wrekin, and look down on that ‘land of lost content’ so wistfully evoked by A E Housman.
