Cattows Farm

With 100 acres of native trees planted in 2004, Cattows Farm is a haven for wildlife and a fantastic day out at the heart of the National Forest. Farmed by the Ludlam family for more than 120 years, Cattows Farm is both traditional and forward-looking, with a mix of livestock, soft fruit growing and reforested land.   

A walk through the woodland is the perfect opportunity to spot birds and other wildlife, and enjoy the restorative power of nature. When you have worked up an appetite you can return to the tea room and restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal, light-bite or simply tea and cake while you take in the stunning views.  

The farm shop sells a wide range of home grown and reared produce and an array of award-winning delights from specialist producers including jams, chutneys, cheese and eggs.
