Get Close to the Animals at Miller’s Ark Farm, Hook
Miller’s Ark might be small but it is jam-packed with animals to feed, cuddle and brush. We had close-encounters with so many animals – goats and sheep, pigs and chicks, donkeys and rabbits, turkeys and chickens. It was a wonderfully hands-on morning.
The farm is divided into two sections – the feeding area and the handling areas. At the entrance you can buy cups of food to give the animals in the feeding area.
The Feeding Area
When we visited the feeding area was full of goats and sheep who would eat directly from your hands or from the feed cup.
The Handling Areas
In the handling areas, we brushed donkeys, cuddled lambs, stroked pigs and held rabbits.
The children were so excited they did not who to snuggle next.
Looby Loo
As well as the animals, there is a ride on train called Looby Loo.
Hay Barn Play Area
There is also a play area with bales to climb on and cars to play in. Bramble the cat was having a snooze in amongst the hay when we visited, much to the delight of my children.
Tea Barn
The Tea Barn serves refreshments and hot food or you can bring your own and use the picnic area.
