Short Farm Tours

A fun, family-friendly farm experience; perfect for little ones

Short Farm Tours

Our one-hour Short Farm Tours are designed with families in mind, offering a relaxed and enjoyable introduction to life on a working farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Ideal for younger children, first farm visits, and families looking for hands-on fun without a long-term commitment.

What to Expect

Explore the farm at a gentle pace, stopping along the way to meet our friendly animals and see what’s happening on the farm that day.

Little ones will love seeing animals up close, helping to feed them when possible, and learning where food comes from in a simple, engaging way. Tours are kept informal and flexible, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take things at a child-friendly pace.

As this is a working farm, activities vary by season, which keeps every visit fresh and exciting.

Good to Know

Short Farm Tours are designed for enjoyment rather than hard work, making them ideal for families with younger children. If you’re looking for a longer, more hands-on experience, our Full Farm Experience may be better suited to older children and adults.

What People Are Saying


My family and I had a fantastic weekend in this stunning location. The yurts are spacious yet cosy and the beds are super comfortable! Everything we needed was provided and the staff couldn't have been more helpful - we will definitely be back 😊

My son and I had a wonderful stay. Perfect for some quiet 1-1 time together. Jim and Bridget were very welcoming showing us around the farm and telling us about the animals. Beautiful spot with beautiful views. The yurts were comfortable and warm.
-Kate
Brilliant stay at the folly! Tucked away in seclusion, only the birds and lambs to be heard. Close to local attractions, and some great pubs. Jim was really helpful with directions and anything else we needed. We highly recommend staying.
-Rachel
Girlfriend brought me here for the weekend for my birthday and we both had an amazing time. The yurt was really spacious and had everything we needed in there, the bed and bedding were really comfortable and with the wood burner and fairy lights on the room felt really cosy.

We came here today for lunch after a walk in the Dales with our girls. Whilst there our littlest Katie trip over, bumped her head and grazed her knee in the courtyard. Within minutes the staff were all round her with damp cloths, plasters and lollipops!!! Thank you, Thank you Thank you! Katie is fine, just milking it and having us run around after her!! Overall our experience was lovely, the food was spot on, the kids loved seeing the animals and have already asked to go back and do the walk to the waterfall. Once again, Thank you very much!
