I came to learn how to make a willow basket which I really enjoyed. Out of the woods have a cabin on site. Its been years since I've been to meanwood valley farm. Lots of lovely family friendly walks nearby, cafe and toilets on site, wood sculptures market garden and in June when I was here plants for sale for a very reasonable £2 each.

Small, cute farm. Staff I interacted with in the cafe were lovely, beautiful food. Cycled there, walked around the farm, and then went to check out the bike trail. However, may be my terrible map/sign using skills, but it wasn't too clear where I could cycle there to me. Of course, it could've been obvious and gone over my head. Went alone but saw children really enjoyed it. Chickens, goats, etc, had a fun time.

Beautiful place just a short bus ride away from the University of Leeds. We didn't see a lot of animals, but I would still say it's worth a visit because the entrance fee is reasonable and the environment was very peaceful. Cafe food was nice as well.

Really lovely place to visit. We have been twice now and its a heartwarming place full of lots of cute animals. This time we finally got to see the donkeys and they were sweet and friendly ! It was £3 per person which is a very fair price and it's a quiet place with a great community and a real essence of family within caring for the animals. One of our favourite places is the birdwatching area which is small but so full of life. On top of the animals listed such as goats, donkeys, alpacas and sheep, there is more to see within the wild. This time won't certainly be our last, and we've loved it every time we've come here :)

Beautiful little farm. Lots to see - birds, sheep, alpacas, gardens, plants and trees, as well as a cafe and architecture. Impressed with the sculptures. Family friendly and I appreciate how in the reception area (with a gift shop), there were a stand of leaflets full of different activities for families, some taking place here, or surrounding areas. 100% recommend
