Park Farm, Lydiard Tregoze, 2022
Hidden Content, Images, Videos and Documents
These photographs were taken during a Friends of Lydiard Park visit to Park Farm in May 2022. Farm owner, Mr Francis Rumming, conducted the tour which included the 17th century Grade II listed barn (its aging thatched roof replaced by asbestos in 1970's); the large pond (fed by the River Ray and formerly used as the main drinking source for cattle); the pasture fed beef herd and rare breed sheep.
Park Farm is perhaps best known for its free-range Christmas Turkeys. Farm Manager Christopher Rumming is dedicated to sustainable farming and nature conservation. He writes a regular bulletin in The Lydiard's Magazine.
Park Farm was called Windmill Leaze Farm from the late 19th century until 1940 when it reverted to its original name.
