- Playground, kids' farmyard and shop serving tea and light meals
Bush Farm is a farm centre with bison, elk and many other animals to see, tucked away in the woods at the southern end of the small village of West Knoyle, two miles from the A303.
The car park is sheltered among the trees and visitors go through the gallery to collect their map for the farm walk. In the gallery are pictures of American wildlife, Native American artefacts of all kinds and 'buffalo' robes to keep you warm in winter.
The farm walk is for about a mile as a circular tour round the fields where visitors can see herds of bison, (between 90-100) as well as elk, all out in the meadows. Closer to the farm yard are lakes and 30 acres of old oak woods, with picnic and play areas and home to poultry, owls, rare breed sheep and pigs, chipmunks, prairies dogs, rheas, raccoons and guanacos. Hidden in the bushes is a duck hide to watch wildlife on the bottom lake.
By the gallery lawn picnic area is a playground and a children’s farmyard. Teas and light meals are served from the shop, where you can also buy bison and elk meat.
