Cattle grazing: Gravel Pit and Spring Barn fields

The British White cattle have made their first move around the farm. From this week they are grazing in adjoining Gravel Pit and Spring Barn fields (Kerves Lane side) where they will stay for a few weeks. These fields are coloured pale pink on the map below. Please follow the signage advice from Horsham District Council for the safety and welfare of cattle and visitors. Their likely next move will be to Great Horsham Hill and adjoining Jenny Bare Legs fields.
