Notice About Dogs – We have made the hard decision NOT to allow dogs at the Lakeland Farm Visitor Centre (or left in vehicles at the centre).  We haven’t made this decision lightly, but to ensure the safety and welfare of our livestock we felt it necessary. 

We thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
