Fairy Trail
Follow The Fairy Trail
Kids love the many fairy doors and toad stools that have popped up along the trail and are delighted to find the new hobbit village at the start of the adventure. Here you can find some beautiful woven willow huts, various hobbit houses, a swing, tight rope and a few more surprises.
The Nature Walk at Glendeer
Our unspoilt peaceful nature walk is part of an old mass path, reminiscent of bygone days, that appeals to both young and old.
This is an interesting and character-filled walk as the various trees that are found along the way have come together to form a natural tunnel for a magical feel. It is less than half a mile long so it is more than manageable for most and keeps you interested as you go along.
If you are looking for a walk with a bit of a difference, you’ll find it here at Glendeer Pet Farm.

Reviews
“Brilliant day out for families/groups with kids up to probably 12 years of age. Tickets and gift shop were good value. Loads of space to run around and a fantastic playground with an obstacle course (two sides for racing against each other)… We’ll be back!”

“Fabulous place to spend2-3 hours. We had two children 6 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed the animals, walks and playground. Very nice staff, good parking and lots of place for picnic.”

“Absolutely amazing day. Caters for all ages and is so reasonably priced. Even the cafe inside doesn’t overcharge parents and all the staff were so lovely. The owner really knows how to run a great business, we will be back multiple times this summer.”
