Farm and Garden Experience tours

Chestnut Brae offers “Chestnut Experience Farm Tours” where visitors can experience a working farm with farm animals. On the farm, visitors can see our Wiltshire sheep which act as our lawn mowers. Our sheep are watched over by two Alpaca – Eirene and Klotze. Angora goats frolic in their playground and Dexter cattle keep our grass down.

Guinea fowl and turkeys roam freely through the garden and act as our insect control. Being organic we don’t use any chemicals but instead allow our animals to do the work.

Heritage Wessex Saddleback pigs (which are now extinct in Britain) are free to roam in their pasture areas, but due to biosecurity measures, visitors are not permitted near the pigs.

At dawn and dusk Farmstay guests have the added delight of being able to watch kangaroos and emus in the next paddock as the animals make their way to and from their feeding grounds.
