The Animals of The City

For you city dwellers who want to get away from the urban grind, and feel the need for some fresh air and exercise you need not travel miles out into the countryside. There are over a dozen city farms in and around London where you can meet new people, learn new skills, and help the local environment.

On your visit there is plenty to do for kids and adults, from meeting the animals, horse riding lessons, adventure playgrounds, and growing your own food.
