Upper Shadymoor FarmNeed help? Call 01420 80804

In a small meadow bordered by woodland, our six tents face a picket-fenced ‘scrape’ – a shallow pond such as found on nature reserves. Once the sun goes down, the sounds of owls and the babbling brook that skirts the woods will lull you to sleep.
 
Although you’ll enjoy meeting our animals, the real star here is nature itself and over the past decade we’ve enhanced our environment as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. If you’re interested to know more, join us for a wildlife walk to explore old hay meadows, the bluebell woods in spring, sunflowers in summer, and the whiffy wild garlic, as well as a whole host of birds including – if you’re lucky – kingfishers, owls (barn and tawny), woodcocks, curlews, coots, pink-footed and greylag geese.
 
The orchard and the garden pool are overlooked by our wainhouse barn which, built with our own oak, ash and alder, houses the showers and the Farm Larder. The barn also makes a beautifully rustic venue for big social gatherings and feasts. This – and the lake and hot tub for relaxing fun – makes the farm ideal for group bookings and parties.
 
Unfortunately we can’t accommodate pets at Upper Shadymoor Farm as it is home to game birds.
