Pangfield Farm is a 132 hectare mixed farm by the River Pang. It grows wheat, lupins and there is a small asparagus enterprise. Sheep graze the fields. The river is ideal for studying a variety of geography and geology projects. There is a pond for comparison with the river, rich in wildlife as well as other habitats including hedgerows, small woodland and grassland. The farm is also good for its wild bird populations such as lapwing.
The Education Officer based at the John Simmonds Trust at Rushall Farm runs educational visits to the farm.
How to book:
The farm is open all year. Visits are free and must be pre-booked.
