Grazing
The British White cattle are now grazing at Warnham Local Nature Reserve. They will return for extra summer grazing, and some annual welfare checks, later in the year. The herd of llamas, goats and sheep are in enclosed Wheat Rick and New Town Nine Acres fields (no public access). Please do not feed any of the grazing animals on the site – they are well cared for, fed and watered. They are here to help maintain the farmland habitat.
For information on our seasonal Friends’ farm-based events, please contact us.

#sharechesworthfarm: dog walkers are reminded of the Countryside Code: “When you take your dog into the outdoors, always ensure it does not disturb wildlife, farm animals, horses or other people by keeping it under effective control.” More details can be found at Countryside Code
Horse-riders and cyclists please keep to the bridleways. These cross the site E-W or N-S. If you are on a diagonal field path, you are definitely not on the right track.
