At the beginning of May we took a trip to Harrogate on the way to Newcastle with the kids for a couple of days away. We happened upon a sign at the side of the road, mentioning Emsley farm shop and as it was time for lunch, I thought it would be a good place to stop. When we pulled into the car park we were greated by some fenced off pens with chickens, peacocks and hens and some rabbits. After lunch we found out that it was in fact a farm trail, which was Free. Very unusual in this day and age. You could pay for food however, to hand feed the animals and actually go into the pen with the giant rabbits.
Later we found pens with goats and a donkey that you could also hand feed and a pig who needed to be feed in his trough. The goats were especially friendly especially the older ones, who fought to get closest to you as soon as you approached the pen.
It is definitely somewhere I'd go again if we're in the area.
