Farm Trail

Walk on past the Margam Castle Play Area and head along to the Farm Trail where there is a selection of farm animals to see.

What new friends will you make!!

Above is Pepper, one of our many goats. These animals are popular with visitors as they are very friendly and often mischievous.

This little fellow is Gizmo. He is our smallest Shetland pony and a favourite with the children with his long golden mane.

We have a number of different breeds of pig on the farm trail including two Kune Kune pigs. These pigs look like a Walt Disney cartoon version of a pig, and their name is pronounced cooney cooney which means fat and round in Maori. Here is a picture of Fifi who is 12 years old.

Besides the farm animals we have the Children’s Farmyard Corner where you can meet our rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks and goats. Below is just one of the fluffy rabbits that have been donated to us, munching on a tasty carrot.

The Glamorgan Cattle are our speciality. You may have seen the herd in the fields next to our main car park. They can be recognised by their chestnut coloured coat and broad white stripe along the backbone, down the tail and under the belly. It was thought that the Glamorgan breed had died out in Britain in the 1920’s. Fortunately a herd was discovered in 1979 in Sussex, and the entire stock was purchased and brought back to the park, ensuring the survival of the breed.

Farm Training

From the Farm Trail we run an NVQ training course in small animal welfare. The course covers all aspects of the care and welfare of small animals through hands- on learning.
