The Fishing Lake

 

Our fishing lake nestles in an acre and a half of flora and fauna. 

This rustic wilderness lends itself as the home to an abundance of wildlife, including mallard ducks, moorhens, canadian geese and even the occasional heron fishing on the lake for fry.    

       

Over the years, we have introduced carp, perch, bream brown and rainbow trout into the waters.  Bring your rods and enjoy a lazy day!

         

Camel Trekking 

Yes!  Camel Trekking - there's a new experience.  There is a camel farm nearby who offer camel trekking and more.  Its a 3 hour unique dream not to be missed.   Bookings are essential.

 

Horse Riding  

 

We can offer equine Bed and Breakfast.  The local riding stables can no longer offer hacking out in the countryside, but can offer lessons in the school.    

 

 

Cycling 

After a delicious breakfast - for those of you with boundless energy, bring your bicycles, and see the countryside around the Vale of the Red Horse.   Amble along the Edgehill escarpment, (site of the Battle of Edgehill) round Compton Wynyates Castle, Brailles, Shipston-on-Stour, circling back through Honnington, Idlicote, Whatcote and into Oxhill.
We can supply you with a map and route which will take you off the main roads and into the leafy lanes of deepest Warwickshire.  

Of course there will always be a Pub around the corner for well earned refreshments. 

 

Relaxing on the Farm

However, it is not all leisure on the farm. Hay making in June is an important part of the season.    Wrapped and conventional hay is supplied to the local equine industry.  Farming policy is on the change, with a strong emphasis on conservation and wildlife.   This farm is one of the most important breeding sites in Warwickshire for curlew. Furthermore it has retained breeding populations of grey partridge, corn bunting, tree sparrow and brown hare.
