Cholderton
Cholderton Charlie’s Farm is set in the countryside on the border of Wiltshire and Hampshire. The rare breeds farm and education centre create a fantastic place for young people to learn all about endangered animals and the environment. With accommodation situated within the grounds means teams get to stay on the farm with the animals!
Originally a dairy farm, the centre is now a welcoming and safe place for young people and families looking to get close to rare breeds, such as the small Hebridean Eriskay ponies, which are now even rarer than the giant panda. The farm is a Rare Breeds Survival Trust conservation centre and participates in breeding programmes which focus on increasing the numbers of farm animals that are facing extinction in Britain. There are lots of opportunities to touch and feed these beautiful animals during petting and feeding sessions, so teams can get hands on experience with animals they may never have seen before.
Nestled in 28 acres of idyllic countryside, Cholderton Charlie’s Farm is only four miles from the mystical site of Stonehenge. The centre has excellent excellent facilities that encourage exploration and learning, including outdoor play areas, sand pits, ride on tractors (weather and season permitting) and indoor play zones too.
In the farm grounds four star accommodation and a recently built education centre enhance the learning experience even further.
Cholderton is an inspiring rural retreat where young people can enjoy the outdoors, meet and handle some beautiful animals and learn all about rare breeds of farm animal.
