Beehive Farm Woodland Lakes really is at the heart of the new National Forest.

Visitors are able to explore the beauty of this emerging young woodland landscape using specially laid out trails. Following the trails, you will enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the three fishing lakes, the Horseshoe, Botany Bay and Jubilee, as well as discovering peaceful picnic areas surrounded by wild flowers.

Open all the year round, our walking trails join with the local network of footpaths to allow further exploration of the National Forest area, making the Beehive an ideal base. Well behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on leads at all times. Ample car parking is available at the main entrance area.

On their small farm you can meet friendly farm animals including Shetland ponies, goats, donkeys, Jess the pot-bellied pig, Percy the peacock, and their much loved free range rabbits! They also have a newly built water feature and wildlife pond.

If you're under 8 and full of energy, you can climb and slide around their playground. When you come, you will need to be with an adult and no dogs are allowed in the animal farm or playground. There are benches for the adults to sit on and when you've finished exploring, refreshments are available in the shop.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Beehive Farm Woodland Lakes, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
