Farming World What would a farm be without animals? Nowhere near as much fun! At Farming World, our animals are our pride and joy and we hope that you will get as much pleasure from them as we do. At Farming World you will find hundreds of different species of animals. We have horses and ponies and some real gentle giants in our beautiful heavy horses. You'll find pigs - including some beautiful rare breeds - and cows, goats and sheep, llamas and alpacas. Our ongoing programme of breeding means that there are often piglets and lambs to be seen too. Alongside the traditional farm animals, you'll find some new friends in Kid's Corner - we have several different species of rabbit and, as you'd expect, there are often some babies to say hello to! Like many farms, we keep poultry and geese at Farming World. But, more unusually, we also have a number of different species renowned for their ornamental qualities, including pheasants and peafowl. The poultry and ornamental birds aren't the only feathered residents at Farming World. The spectacular birds of prey at Hawklands are an impressive sight and you can enjoy awesome flying displays on most days.

These are now used to propagate hop cuttings for the farm. The largest of these was the Fernery which in Victorian times housed many rare and exotic ferns. Sadly the glass roof was destroyed in the Great Storm of October 1987. The remains have been transformed into a "secret water garden". The rockery is original and was built from the clinker waste from Faversham Brickworks (one day it is hoped to restore the conservatory to its former condition). In 2000 the garden was adapted to become a sensory garden with hidden creatures, mysterious footprints, animal tracks and plants selected for their sensory nature. This can be appreciated by anyone with special needs but also all children can have fun answering the quiz as they wander around the garden. The Kitchen Garden An original walled garden which was built in 18th Century and designed to provide fruit and vegetables for Nash Court. The paths are lined with box hedging and some of the vegetables grown today can be purchased in the produce shop. |
