Farm Trail
Walk on past the Margam Castle Play Area and head along to the
Farm Trail where there is a selection of farm animals to see.
What new friends will you make?
Above is Pepper, one of our many goats. These animals are
popular with visitors as they are very friendly and often
mischievous.
This little fellow is Gizmo. He is our smallest Shetland pony
and a favourite with the children with his long golden mane.
Besides the farm animals we have the Children’s Farmyard Corner
where you can meet our rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks and goats.
Below is just one of the fluffy rabbits that has been donated to
us, munching on a tasty carrot.
The Glamorgan Cattle are our speciality. You may have seen the
herd in the fields next to our main car park. They can be
recognised by their chestnut coloured coat and broad white stripe
along the backbone, down the tail and under the belly. It was
thought that the Glamorgan breed had died out in Britain in the
1920’s. Fortunately a herd was discovered in 1979 in Sussex, and
the entire stock was purchased and brought back to the park,
ensuring the survival of the breed.
