THE UK · FARM TOURS
Small farms take small groups and fill early. Below: the 4 farm tours in the UK to book ahead, what each includes and how they differ.
At Jacksons At Jedburgh, you can take a self-led walk through public farm paddocks, feed goats, meet Highland cows, and see sheep, pigs, and poultry. A walk to an old Roman fort brings wide views and den-building equipment for children. Some visits also include a tractor ride to the cattle fields.
Join a small-group walking tour of Liverpool led by a member of The Farm, often Peter Hooton, and trace the city’s music story beyond the Beatles. Visit former venues, studios, rehearsal rooms, pubs, Probe Records’ former site, and dance-music landmarks before sharing a drink, questions, photos, and memorabilia at a central pub.
Join Karen of Hebridean Farm Hikes for a 90-minute walk across The Fauld Farm near Tobermory. You’ll climb Meadow Ridge for sea views, see Highland ponies and Shetland sheep, and may reach a second ridge above Bloody Bay. Bring strong boots, waterproofs, and water.

“The Alpacas were very cute! We learned quite a bit about them. The owner knew her stuff and could tell us a bit about the history of alpacas. She clearly loved them all and was good at handling them so we could all stroke them and feel their lovely soft fleece. Then we walked them around a few fields and paddled in the stream with them. Good fun. She was there all the time incase of any espapees! Gave tips on how to handle them and gave us confidence to handle them. It was a lovely afternoon. Really enjoyed it.
