Days out : Wigfield Farm

Days out: Wigfield Farm

We went for a quick stop at a local farm, we were aiming just to pop by for some food on route to another location. But then we stopped and had a wander around. 

We ate in the cafeteria, the food was simple and just what we needed, I had a Jacket potato and Andy had homemade pie and mash.

There were a number of smaller animal enclosures, including fish, reptiles and members of the rodent family. Then outside there were larger animals including cattle, goats and pigs. Then finally around the corner were the alpacas and ponies.

All around were logos for Barnsley College, I am assuming there is some affiliation and maybe this is where the animal care courses are run? 

The Meerkats keeping warm.

The entry was £3 each and there was the option to by feed for the animals. I would suggest this is a good place for a stop off and a walk around for up to an hour. I had seen an outdoor children's play area.

The smiley Alpaca. 

I would suggest popping by on the way to somewhere else around the Barnsley/ Rotherham area. But that there is not enough to do there for a long period of time.
