At our other site near Armathwaite, set in rolling countryside, we have a rustic building to use for shelter, complete with tea/coffee making facilities and a toilet.
the wetlands at aglionby
Watch our video to find out about the Wetlands, just off the M6 at Junction 43, through Aglionby village.
Our wetlands are the ideal place to learn about various habitats, exploring the plants and the animals that live there.
This aerial shot shows you the location of the education room, composting toilet and various boardwalks that surround two of the ponds.
With adjacent woodlands and hedges, the wetlands is a vibrant wildlife habitat in which to explore. There are many opportunities to link learning to the National Curriculum and of course, just being outside is a welcome tonic.
To find out more visit our education pages or email helen@susansfarm.co.uk.
Check out the gallery below for images of what you might see on a visit to the wetlands.
