A registered charity community farm in Marple beside the River Goyt, home to rescue pigs, alpacas, goats, Shetland ponies, donkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs, with the Riverside Cafe and Icy Bar serving refreshments and light food on site. Why it's kid-friendly: children can get up close to the farm animals, explore a sensory garden and riverside nature trail, and play on swings, slides, climbing frames, a sand pit and a mud kitchen.
