The Farm

Crake Trees Manor is a regenerative farm and we work hard to create a beautiful place, rich in wildlife. Our informal grass camping field, at the centre of the farm is surrounded by wildlife and farm animals.

Around the site you will see free range hens, outdoor pigs (plus piglets during summer) rare breed Border Leicester sheep & lambs and a grazing herd Belted Galloways. Please treat them with respect, we are not a farm park.
