Lane Park, Leyton, E10. The farm has full disabled access and two
disabled parking bays (call to book). Parking is widely available on
Skeltons Lane or Byron Road, although we strongly advise the use of

every Wednesday afternoon being Messy Play for the Under 5’s. Please
telephone the farm to book a place, or to ask more information. It is a semi-working farm with traditional livestock. Farming is seasonal and therefore the animals and what you see changes throughout the year. In the months of March and April you can expect to see lambs, and plenty of other baby animals and at 5pm each day you can watch the goats being milked. Resident animals include: Dairy short horn cows, Jacob and Ryeland sheep, Dairy goats, Gloucester Old Spot Pigs, Merlin the famous llama, also a whole area designated to small animals like chinchillas, gerbils, rats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and mice, chickens ducks and ponies.
