A proper farm encounter.

The experience is centred on spending time with the Highland cows: meeting the herd, feeding them and getting those shaggy-cow photographs everyone comes for.

Sandwiches, cakes and refreshments are available to purchase separately at the farm. Dates and session availability change, so the booking page is always the best place to see what is currently open.

Dress for the farm

Wear sturdy, weather-appropriate footwear. Farm ground can be uneven, muddy or slippery, particularly after rain.

Keep Hilltop going

Every donation becomes another day of care.

Hilltop relies on fundraising, community support and visits to continue its work. A donation helps the sanctuary keep caring for animals who need a safe home, proper attention and time to recover.

Why Hilltop exists

A sanctuary, a community, and a second chance.

Hilltop Farm Animal Sanctuary supports animals and birds that have been abandoned, injured or have had a difficult start in life, with the aim of giving them the care and rehabilitation they deserve.

The charity also works to bring people closer to good animal welfare through educational visits and community fundraising.
