About Cotswold Farm Park
Cotswold Farm Park sits in the heart of the Cotswolds at Guiting Power, a short drive from Cheltenham, and is the rare-breeds farm made famous by TV farmer Adam Henson. Families can meet an extensive collection of heritage animals, including Highland cattle, Hebridean sheep, Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies, donkeys, guinea pigs, rabbits and seasonal baby chicks, with the chance to feed and get close to many of them. Outdoors there are bouncy pillows, swings, sandpits, zip lines, pedal tractors and a quarry play area, plus a two-mile wildlife walk and a farm safari trailer ride around the land. When the weather turns, the indoor Adventure Barn soft play and Discovery Barn keep younger children entertained. Several food outlets, from The Ox Shed restaurant to an ice-cream hut, cover lunch and snacks, and parking is free. The farm opens seasonally from spring into December with reduced winter dates, so checking the opening calendar and booking online in advance is sensible before you set off.
