THE FARM

Meet the animals

Step into our charming sanctuary at Wild Wanderers, where every hoof, feather, and quack tells a unique tale of adventure, mischief, and heartwarming companionship!

GOATS

Cheeky little Kids!

Introducing the liveliest trio you’ll ever encounter: Poppy, Joey, and Dorothy! This family of mum, brother, and sister arrived at Wild Wanderers in March 2023. They’re a spirited blend of Toggenburg and Anglo-Nubian breeds, known for their playful antics of running, jumping, and attempting daring escapes from their pen, complete with their charming floppy ears! They are always ready for a stroke, just be careful of their horns!

WOODLAND

The Enchanting Trail of the Wild Ones

Do you believe in magic? Explore the fairy and elf trail with your little one as they transform into woodland fairies or elves, spotting critters and mini beasts along the way. Let’s find the fairy doors, but beware of the trolls! For older adventurers, embark on a scavenger hunt to help them explore nature. Enjoy balancing on the bridges and stepping through the marsh; just don’t fall in! And don’t forget your wellies!

SHEEP

Cuddly Sheeps and Lambs

You simply can’t resist falling in love with our six cuddliest farm animals! Meet the grown up sheep, Blu, Lewis, Twinkle, and Timmy and, the young-uns, Jimbob and Bandit! Among them, Blu, Bandit and Jimbob are the friendliest of the bunch and will follow you around sneaking in loves and ear rubs when they can! But watch out! They all have a big appetite and might mistake your picnic for their own feast! They’re a bunch of curious, mischievous, and utterly lovable characters you won’t be able to resist!

CHICKENS

The Cluckiest Chickens

As part of our morning animal care and feeding routine, we’re lucky to have a lively group of chickens famous for laying the most delicious, golden-yolked eggs! Each day, we can’t wait to set off on our egg-cellent, egg-collecting adventure, excited to see the bounty they’ve left for us. It’s always a thrill to count every egg and enjoy the fun that comes with this simple, yet rewarding task!

PIGS

Muddy Piggy

Meet our very own Pepper Pig—our cheeky, apple-loving superstar! Pepper is a Kune Kune pig who lives right here at Wild Wanderers, and she’s full of personality. As the last of three rescue pigs, Pepper has been happily trotting around the farm for over 11 years now, which makes her quite the wise old lady in piggy years! She’s not just adorable, though—Pepper loves to chat! Say hi, and you might just get a friendly grunt in return. She’s always up for some fun and a snack (especially if apples are involved)!

DUCKS

The Quakiest Quackers

We’ve got a fabulous mix of ducks here at Wild Wanderers! You might recognise our friendly Mallard Ducks like the ones you’ve seen at the park, but we’ve also got some special feathered friends—our Appleyards! These little girls were orphaned and have found a loving home with us. And they didn’t waste any time settling in—now we have a brood of 10 happy ducks! The mummy and daddy ducks are always busy, and boy, are they noisy! You’ll definitely hear them calling for their breakfast each morning, making sure we never forget their meal!

Wildlife and Recreation Areas

Wildlife and Recreational Areas

Wild Wanderers Natural Environment

At the bottom of the courtyard, a classic 5-bar Devon gate invites you into our little slice of paradise. Wander through to discover an orchard, a fun children’s play area with swings, trampoline and play tower. You’ll find the sheep and lambs, goats and, the chicken and duck enclosures, plus our cheeky Peppa pig. There’s plenty of stopping points too, perfect for kicking back and soaking in the peaceful, natural beauty of rural Devon & Cornwall.

Keep exploring down, and you’ll find yourself in the wild, untouched River Tamar meadows. We’ve left these meadows in their natural glory, complete with a flowing river, rope swings, a pond, and a magical fairy trail just waiting for adventure. With a bit of luck (and patience!), you might catch sight of deer wandering through, birds of prey soaring high, kingfishers darting across the water, or otters playfully splashing around. It’s a nature-lover’s dream, full of magic and tranquillity! It’s your holiday—you decide your own adventure!
