This wild and undulating expanse of green space spans nearly 800 acres, with woodland, playing fields, swimming ponds and meadows.

Unlike most of the other city farms in London listed, there is a small entry price for this one (£10) but this includes entry to all indoor and outdoor play areas, activities, animals, bird shows and a tractor ride to the dairy farm."
