Very nice farm which is for free. Peaceful and calm to spend an hour with family. There is a café available with a large variety of food options. There are also a lot of benches, perfect for picnics! There is accessible toilets and a carpark available. A lot of horses however during a hot, sunny day a lot of them might be inside.

A beautiful sanctuary to visit, the staff are absolutely brilliant and so welcoming. Lovely little gift shop and cafe. The cake and coffee are to die for! Lovely walk around the sanctuary with plenty of horses, ponies and donkeys to see, not forgetting the goats at the gate of entrance. You can definitely tell these animals are in their best place, they have lots of room to roam and they look so happy, content and healthy which is lovely to see considering their background. We will definitely be visiting again on the summer. Thankyou Redwings Ada Cole.

We had such a beautiful day at Redwings Ada Cole Horse Sanctuary. It’s a peaceful, family-friendly place and perfect for young children. The animals are very well looked after, and it was lovely to see them in such a calm environment. There are horses, ponies, donkeys and more, and the children really enjoyed getting close to them. The staff were polite, friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The whole site is clean, spacious and easy to walk around, even with little ones. It’s also great that entry and parking are free, making it a budget-friendly day out. There are picnic areas and a small café as well. A calm, wholesome experience and a lovely place for children to learn kindness towards animals. We will definitely visit again! 🫏❤️🐎❤️
