Description
Newham Grange has been a working farm since the 17th century. It is now also a popular attraction for families and school groups. It reopened in May 2010 following refurbishment of the animal enclosures, farm shop and cafe, and addition of the Willow Maze and a new play area.
The farm features many rare breeds of cattle, sheep, and pigs along with other farm animals such as goats, ponies, donkeys, poultry, waterfowl and rabbits. The pig units feature several breeds such as Gloucester Old Spot, Berkshire, Saddleback and Middle White, and include weaning pens where baby pigs are weaned onto solid foods. There are often new litters of piglets to see.
The farm also has exhibitions of the local Cleveland dialect and calendar, along with the farming history of the area, vintage farm machinery and crafts.
