Springtime in the UK is a lovely season, with blooming flowers, chirping birds, and adorable lambs in the countryside. If you’re looking to see cute newborn lambs, there are plenty of places across the UK where you can visit to see them up close. Here are some of the best farms for lambing season.
Our Top Farm Attraction
Rutland Farm Park
Animal lovers need to flock here to see their adorable alpacas and Highland cows! They’re cute and fluffy, and they are not farm animals you see every day. Of course, they also have sheep (with lambing season, too!), pygmy goats, guinea pigs and little critters. But the most exciting thing about Rutland Farm Park is that they also have rare breeds on the farm… From the Greyface Dartmoor and Lincoln Longwools to the Shire Horse! Learn all about them and discover why they’re so rare.
Not to mention, they host sensational seasonal events, like autumn trails and Halloween treats, to indulgent afternoon teas. There’s also an outdoor play area with ride-on tractors! Now, your kids can be true farmers, too.
It’s a farm that has the whole package!
