Part of your visit to Southwood
PAUSE, WATCH & ENJOY
A few familiar faces to brighten your visit
George’s Animal Farm is home to a small group of much-loved animals. Take a moment to watch them exploring, resting and enjoying life — a simple pleasure for visitors of all ages, and a favourite extra stop for families visiting Southwood.
GROWING UP AT SOUTHWOOD
Our five young goats
Our five young goats have grown a little since their earliest photos, but there’s still plenty to enjoy as you watch them getting on with their day.
Look out for them around their enclosure, exploring together or settling down for a rest. The wooden tractor makes a lovely setting for some of their adventures.
Already met them on a previous visit? Come back and see how much they’ve grown.
MEET THE RESIDENTS
A little farm, full of character
Alongside our young goats, George’s Animal Farm is home to Ben, Poppy, chickens and guinea pigs.
Poppy the pig
Meet Poppy, our resident pig. Whether she’s up and about or enjoying a rest in the straw, take a moment to see what she’s doing on your visit.
Our guinea pigs
Some of our smallest residents are the guinea pigs. Look closely and you may spot them exploring their enclosure or tucked away in a cosy corner.
Don’t forget the chickens
A few chickens also call George’s Animal Farm home. Keep an eye out for them as you look around and enjoy watching the animals go about their day.
MAKE A MORNING OR AFTERNOON OF IT
Animals, a little exploring & a coffee
Pair a visit to the animals with a browse around the garden centre, a stop in our farm shop or a break at Lucy’s Coffee Shop.
Lucy’s also has an outdoor seating area and a children’s play area — lovely for making a little more of your family visit.
