The Park, which is based in Oban, Argyll, Scotland was established in 1987. It covers thirty-five acres and is part of a working livestock Farm. The aim of the park is two-fold, to conserve rare and minority breed Farm animals and to demonstrate these animals to visitors so that they become aware of and appreciate the need to keep these breeds alive.
Most of the animals are very tame!
Your visit to the Park starts (and ends!) with the tearoom. The path from here is easy to follow and passes the Pets' Corner and various breeds of sheep and goats before reaching the pigs and poultry.
From here the path meanders through woodland comprising of Silver Birch and Rowan, wild flowers and fern, along the side of the burn and comes to the wishing well near the tearoom. Here visitors can stop off and sample the home baking before tackling the steeper climb up the hill where they are rewarded with superb views of the mountains of Lorne, Glencoe and Cruachan.
