BLACKLION Farm

About BLACKLION Farm

Nestled in the heart of the North Cotswolds, BLACKLION offers families the chance to enjoy an authentic day out on a real working farm. Home to our famous Valais Blacknose sheep – often described as the cutest sheep in the world – every visit is designed to bring people closer to animals, nature and the countryside.

Unlike many attractions, BLACKLION isn't a traditional petting farm. Our experiences are interactive, relaxed and centred around the daily life of the farm. Visitors don't simply watch from behind a fence; they become part of the experience. Whether you're washing and grooming the sheep, helping to bottle feed lambs (when available), walking alongside the flock or learning about life as a shepherd, every activity is designed to be memorable for children and adults alike.

  • Hands-on Valais Blacknose sheep experiences

    BLACKLION offers a genuinely hands-on experience that goes far beyond a traditional farm visit. Rather than simply watching the animals, families can get involved in daily farm life by washing and grooming our famous Valais Blacknose sheep, bottle feeding lambs (when available), walking the sheep, watching live clipping demonstrations and meeting our friendly donkeys.
