Farm Tours

Guests are welcome to explore life on a working farm with our guided farm tours, available by prior arrangement.

Binks Cottage is set on our family-run working beef and sheep farm, where there's always something going on, whatever the season. By prior arrangement, guests are welcome to join us for a guided farm tour to see the real rhythm of rural life up close.


In spring, the fields come alive with newborn lambs, and you might see some getting a helping hand in the lambing shed. Summer brings the buzz of sheep shearing and long days cutting grass for hay and silage. Autumn is all about preparation - checking ewe condition, selecting breeding tups, and getting ready for the livestock sales. In winter, daily routines shift to feeding cattle and sheep and keeping a close eye on animal health. Whether you're curious about farming or just want to meet the animals, a farm tour offers an unforgettable insight into countryside life.
