What can I do at the Wensleydale Experience?

You can book a two- to three-hour farm experience that “offers a genuine insight into life working on a Yorkshire Dales farm.”

You will get to feed many of the animals, help gather sheep, and explore the estate while learning more about how farming works.

The experience might be the perfect way to spend a day with your family if they love animals.

There are also tours available where you can relax and enjoy a walk around the farm to meet each of the animals with children.
