If you have a family member or friend who loves Highland cows, consider treating them to a unique experience in Yorkshire as a thoughtful last-minute Christmas gift. Dumble Farm, situated in Beverley, Yorkshire, is a working farm that offers various cow-themed activities featuring their charming heifers. Guests also have the option to camp overnight in a field adjacent to the cattle.
Recently honored with the gold award for Experience of the Year at the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence, Dumble Farm’s Cow Cuddling experience provides a therapeutic escape in East Yorkshire. Visitors can relax by interacting closely with the farm’s gentle Highland cows through activities like stroking, brushing, and cuddling, fostering a mindful connection with these affectionate animals.
The camping facilities and cow-related experiences at Dumble Farm are exclusively for adults, and dogs are not permitted on the premises. Guests can bring their own camping equipment or opt for one of the farm’s luxury yurts, each uniquely decorated with Highland cow-themed furnishings. Additionally, the accommodations feature amenities such as a cozy fireplace, running water, and access to a shared bathroom with a shower.
While staying at the campsite, visitors can observe young Highland cows grazing in the nearby field, eagerly awaiting gentle affection from guests. The farm also allows access to the cows’ shed and a woodland area where guests can interact with the farm’s goats during non-experience times.
Apart from Cow Cuddling, Dumble Farm offers other engaging experiences like Calf Handling during autumn, allowing visitors to brush and walk young Highland cows while enjoying cuddles. Additionally, guests can embark on a Cow Safari and Wildlife Tour, where they are chauffeured around the farm on a colorful bus and can feed the herd from a safe trailer. For a unique package, visitors can book “Herd it on the Grapevine,” which includes a tour of the nearby Laurel Vines Vineyard, a Cow Safari, and a picnic with a bottle of wine.
Located just a short drive from the historic market town of Beverly, near Hull, Dumble Farm offers a convenient and picturesque retreat.
