Attraction Overview

Pennywell Farm is one of Devon’s best-known family attractions, known for its packed schedule of interactive animal experiences. Every half hour, there’s a new activity to join, from bottle-feeding lambs to ferret racing and goat milking. The farm is home to over 150 animals, including its internationally famous miniature pigs.

Visitors can ride the tractor across the hillside, hop aboard the Rainbow Railway, or let off steam in the indoor play barn and outdoor bouncy castles. It’s designed so kids are never bored, rain or shine. The entire site is walkable, with picnic spots and food outlets dotted throughout.

Be sure to explore...

  • Snuggling one of Pennywell’s famously tiny pigs in the dedicated cuddle area.
  • Bottle-feeding lambs during daily animal care sessions.
  • The Goatarama paddock, where curious goats climb, nudge and interact with visitors.
  • Rides like the Red Rocket and Rainbow Railway, which loop through the farm.
