Approaching the farm along the 1 km private lane passing through our woods, look for the wild deer and listen for the young Buzzards.
Situated in the centre of the farm the position of your cottage (Bramble or Jasmine) ensures peace and quiet with beautiful views. |

Every summer the Swallows return to Labdon Farm. They seek out their old nesting sites in and around the old stone barns and stables, when the young have hatched they will entertain you on summer evenings with skilful (and sometimes not so skilful!) flying. Count the many species of birds. Buzzards are frequently seen in pairs riding the thermals calling to their young.
