Description
Jedforest Deer and Farm Park is set among the rolling hills of the Border Country of southern Scotland, on part of an 800-acre working farm. The working farm is a mixed cattle, sheep, and arable concern. The Park's animal collection includes herds of three different species of Deer: Red, Fallow, and Sika. It is also home to many old and interesting breeds of farm animals: Highland and Belted Galloway Cattle, six different breeds of Sheep, five breeds of pigs, and six breeds of poultry. The collection also contains Donkeys, Connemara and Shetland Ponies, Llamas, and a variety of waterfowl and small pets. Visitors to the Park have the opportunity to feed, and even cuddle, some of the animals.
The Park is also host to Falconry Scotland, which provides daily birds of prey displays, demonstrations, and handling sessions, at no additional cost. For full detail, see its own entry in this guide.
