Well if any of you know me by now I am a massive Piggy freak. So on a day out the best way to make me happy is to involve pigs.
Today we were planning to go out and the weather forecast was not good. But we decided to put on our warm clothes and waterproofs, get out the big brolly and go for it.
Therefore we got in the car to got to Cannon Hall Farm. I have been here before and will come again. It is about an hour away from home and the journey can be completed very easily in Zoe.
On arrival parking is £3 all day, but you can redeem this agains a £10 spend in their tearooms.
We realised from the car park that the weather had put a lot of people off as most of the area is outdoors. We didn't mind and off we went. We got our tickets and hand stamp and we were in.
There are lots of animals large and small and a number of childrens play areas.
Well if you are like me and you like pigs there are 5 pig houses then there are more in a separate section outdoors with rarer breeds. When we went in today we were greeted by the smallest piglets I have seen. They had not even opened their eyes yet therefore I am guessing at less than 48 hours old.
Of course there were lots more that were older and running around and playing too. I can safely say I had seen about 500 pigs today.
there were cows, sheep and goats. This is where I had a little giggle, 2 goat kids had jumped through their pen and were stood on a cows back stealing their hey. The cows did not mind and it looked comical.
As well as a miniature pony with a miniature calf too.
Of course yes in places it was a little smelly but it is a farm! and due to the weather it was a little muddy.
We were there about 1.5 hours and if you had kids and the right weather you could have easily managed another hour with the play areas.
There was a gift shop, farm shop and delicatessen. Where we have bought our tea ready for tonight.
The tea rooms were reasonably priced, with snacks, meals and afternoon teas available.
On the same site if you wanted there is Cannon Farm House and then the Gardens to go along with it. You could easily make a full day of your visit.
I shall be going again.
Speak soon
