A note from the site themselves...

Our family have been at Cliff Farm since 1908. It is a small beef and arable farm consisting of around 150 acres and calving 60 continental suckler cows. The cows calve from mid-February to the end of May and are a joy to watch in the fields throughout the summer months.

From the walks around the farm, you may well be lucky enough to see the vast array of wildlife that we have here. There are numerous birds, including lapwings, skylarks and even a buzzard or two! Hares are a common sight on our hilltop. Those of you who are early risers may even get the chance to see the deer grazing.

We hope you get to visit soon and enjoy our wonderful location, Hannah
