The Little Zoo

Reviewed By deborahbX8456RM

I would say this is the best animal experience I have ever had, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nicky and Gary made us feel at home, he is an ex army dog trainer/handler, there is not a lot he doesn't know about dogs. It was great we were able to just do it in a small group ( 3 only) didn't get tacked onto a larger group, it makes such a difference, makes it personal. We met Cody, a wolfdog her temperament was lovely, took her for a walk (easy relaxed, loose lead no pulling) in the countryside for half hour, lovely! Gary kept us amused with anecdotes and we had lots of questions. We then saw the wolves ( Carpathian) over tea and cake. Then met the wolf cubs, which was fabulous, mad exuberant fun...We did a group howl (kids would love this bit!) great fun, I think we enjoyed it as much as the dogs! I would thoroughly recommend this, how often do you get your face cleaned by a wolf after all? :-)

Well worth visiting. Friendly staff and high quality beer by the bottle or cask. This is a surprising brewery with a charmingly simple rustic bar area, an astonishing range of beers and brewery experience days (highly recommended) Buy or just drink your beer there. Bradford on Avon and the canal just a short walk away. The 7.4% Caroline IPA beer is something else...

Iford Manor: The Peto Garden

Internationally renowned, Grade 1 listed, Italianate gardens designed by Harold Peto, who made Iford his home from 1899-1933. Characterised by terraces, pools, statuary cloisters and remarkable rural views, the garden is an archetype of its period and a historic design gem. The present owners have restored and today maintain the historic gardens and the ethos of their original designer through modern borders blended with historic plantings, and today welcome visitors to their home five days a week, with coach visits available outside normal hours. A housekeeper's tearoom serves homemade cakes and light refreshments at weekends and there is a cake-of-the-day during weekdays at the entrance desk. The gardens are steeply terraced, partially accessible to disabled visitors, who are recommended to call ahead for assistance. The gardens are not well suited to children because of unfenced ponds and other hazards. The owners are keen to protect a tranquil environment for visitors.

It's not by chance we chose to move to Bradford-on-Avon - it's surrounded by beautiful places such as this! Albeit it's not a massive space, the grounds are stunning. We had one of the best experiences ever meeting one of their cats and him showing us around on my birthday. We really enjoyed the variety of the gardens, with an Asian themed area for example, and some quintessentially British parts etc. Visit at different times to enjoy different aspects for sure, and stop for a nice slice of cake and loose leaf teas if you get time.
