The views are fantastic! A private gravel road leads you to the farm. This is not always suitable for vehicles with very low chassis eg sports cars. Your own transport is essential - there are no local public transport services. Parking is free and for up to 6 cars adjacent to the Farmhouse. For walkers there is direct access from the Farmhouse to a network of popular trails and footpaths. Cycle trails are a little further away. Other things to note This is a working farm managed by my son Tom who is happy to answer your questions about farming but ask our visitors to keep to the house and gardens, especially children and dogs. The enclosed rear yard of the house is a good viewing platform. Our Beef and Lamb can be purchased from Marks Family Butchers, Shawcroft Car Park, ASHBOURNE.
