Sheldon Country Park covers an area of just over 300 acres, comprising open grassland, wetlands, old hedgerows and some mature woodland.

Situated on the very edge of the city, the land has escaped development and has become a haven for wildlife.

The Parks Ranger Service is based at Old Rectory Farm, a 17th Century dairy farm, which is situated on the main entrance to the park.

Old Rectory Farm has been fully restored and operates as a demonstration farm, showing city dwellers traditional methods of farming. animals kept at the farm include Jersey cattle, pigs, goats, ponies, ducks, chickens and geese.

The farm is open to visitors every day throughout the year and admission is free.

The farm has a unique charm, and visitors from all sections of the community will be warmly welcomed by the staff and volunteers.

There is a children's playground, picnic areas and a cafe.
Car Parking is free.

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