Springtime Farm Visits: Where to See Baby Animals
Spring is a season of fresh air, outdoor adventures, and, of course, the arrival of adorable baby animals! Farms across the UK are welcoming newborn lambs, fluffy chicks, and playful piglets. If you're looking for family activites, this will give your family a great chance to go outside and enjoy the magic of new life.
A farm visit means fresh country air, plenty of space to run wild, and (inevitably) a little bit of mud! With our waterproof wellies, rainwear, and cosy accessories, your little explorers will stay warm and dry, no matter what the weather – or the animals – throw at them.
