The 9-hole Bulpits Golf course lies just across the river. All our guests are welcome to play and it is possible to hire clubs.
2 long distance footpaths — the Stour Valley Way (Christchurch to Stourhead) and the Monarch's Way cross the farm.
Riding is ten minutes away at Wincanton, or at Pevlings Stables, Horsington. Alternatively, bring your own horses on holiday and enjoy the superb hacking in the Stourhead woods and on the downs. It is possible to ride for a whole day rarely crossing a road. Quality stabling and grazing is available.
A popular day out is to hire bicycles and cycle along the flat towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal. This easy ride takes you past the brightly painted barges and there are good pubs for when you need a refreshing drink. This can be an unusual way to start a day sightseeing in Bath.
We can also arrange coarse fishing on the nearby lakes at Stourhead, clay pigeon shooting at Wood Farm, Mere or you can visit The Ginger Piggery at Wylye
Farm Shops - There are plenty of local farm shops around, especially the Organic Farm Shop at Stourhead and organic eggs on the farm.
Clarks Village in Street, Somerset is about 30 minutes drive away and has something for everyone.
