Thornton Hall Farm Country Park, is set in 260 acres of stunning countryside, near Skipton and is in easy reach of all the main population centres in East Lancashire and West Yorkshire (including Blackburn, Burnley, Keighley, Bradford, Bingley and Leeds). This visitor attraction offers excellent all-weather educational facilities for school and group visits, on a spotlessly clean working farm.  We will happily tailor an itinerary to your specific needs. A typical day on the visitor farm could include: 
  • Meeting Farmer John and exploring his way of life
  • Milking Matilda the Goat and bottle feeding lambs and new born calves
  • Understanding the food supply chain
  • Egg collecting- learning about where our food comes from
  • The importance of the countryside code
  • Exploring the newly planted wood and its inhabitants
  • Hop on our Wizzick all-terrain vehicle, accessing all areas of the farm 
We support Learning Outside the Classroom and hold the LOtC Quality Badge.  Our aim is to provide quality learning experiences in a safe environment, helping young people learn through first-hand activities about farming, food and our countryside.
 
We are also approved members of the Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme, members of Farms for Schools and winners of the National Farm Attraction of the Year 2008
