Reviewed By PTStu - Motherwell, United Kingdom
We went as a family of 4 with our 2 boys (age 2 & 4). It was reptile day so we got to see and hold snakes, lizards, millipede, rat, baby owls and then the tarantula. The kids totally loved it and were buzzing. Me and Mum loved it too and managed to come out of our comfort zones by holding the tarantula and snake. The staff were so good with us they made it easy. I think we all enjoyed it as much as each other. I thoroughly recommend this for all ages. The staff really make the difference and make the experience good for kids & adults.

One of the finest examples of an 18th-century Palladian Country house in all of Britain.

Berwick's Town walls are an outstanding example of their type and are unusual in incorporating lengthy portions of strongly built earthworks. They did their job of keeping out the Scots exceedingly well. They survive in surprisingly good condition and can be walked along for much of their length providing extensive views of the town, the sea and the surrounding Northumbrian countryside,

Visited today (having visited the area two years ago and didn’t even know it was here - a real hidden gem) and we all (Grandma and my four year old son) really enjoyed it. The staff are so friendly and helpful, but at the same time leave you be to see the pigs, the sheep, the geese, the ducks and most importantly the ‘heavies’. It’s clear to see these beautiful animals are all much loved members of the family, the staff speak with such fondness of them. Being able to get so close to such giants to pet and stroke them and give them a treat is very special (if you love horses). Looking at the history behind Farm technology and how the horses were used is fascinating - and seeing all the impressive harnesses, bridles and leatherwork displayed gave a true sense of how strong these animals are. A gift shop where you can buy a souvenir and grab a slice of cake and coffee really completes the trip. Sad to miss the carriage rides but if we’re ever in the area again visit Hay Farm Heavies would definitely be on our must see list. Thank you to the boys (Teddy, Merlin, Scot, Dan and cheeky Stan) for being so patient and gentle and Cane and Sparkle too!

What a lovely surprise to find this gorgeous beach. We saw the signs on our way to Spittal so went to Cocklawburn. The parking is good and when the tide is low the beach is amazing. It is good solid sand for walking and for the dog to run on. Our dog ran so fast and so much he actually pulled a hind leg muscle but he did really enjoy it I have to say. There is so much beach available for him to just set off and go CRAZY ????. It also does the soul good to have a blowey winter walk on a lovely beach. An absolutely superb beach and the bonus is free parking.
