Description
Ey up! Be sure to visit Monk Park Farm, where the great outdoors meets pure joy for all who visit. It’s a place that really is a ‘must visit’ for families, and is located in ‘Herriot Country’ – near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, bordering the North York Moors National Park.
Formerly a haven for Monks (hence the name) Monk Park Farm has an extensive range of animals to see – cows, calves, hens, peacocks, sheep, lambs, goats, micro pigs, donkeys, horses, ponies, deer, geese, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, llamas, alpacas and even wallabies.
The ducks and geese can be found by the Lake. Once you’ve enjoyed checking out the various animals, why not try the Woodland Walk nature trail? Children who still have more energy left to burn off can also enjoy pedalling around on the pedal cars and play in the fabulous Adventure Playground and Play Area.
Visit the Farm’s Hungry Monk Cafe where you ‘ll find there’s a great range of wonderful hot and cold meals for you to enjoy, including a delicious selection of home-made sandwiches, scones and cakes available, and to finish off, why not treat yourself to a delicious ice-cream at the Ice Cream Shop?
